an helicopter ready for flight, in the whirling of its wings .. is a dynamic picture where the light is well managed and where the insect is light in all its poetic dimension. The pretty woman of the marsh....

Beautiful shot, peter. This is when I always feel, may be I should purchase a macro lens.

Great shot. My question is why didn't you use a bigger aperture (lower F#)? You could've lower the ISO to get less noise and get shorter DOF.
