Such a great macro shot, Mark, and a great story to go with it. I know that you were disappointed to not get a shot of the BF hatching, especially after keeping tabs on this pupa for a couple of weeks. Anyway, I like this shot very much, and so much detail in it, even the little droplets. Superb!

Now that's a lot of stacking, Mark! That said, this must have been done in really calm conditions. I like that the wings are visible at a time just before adulthood. And the water drops are a nice bonus.

). I have a couple of shots of the newly hatched BF, but mostly it was pointing it's wings straight at the one opening through the arrowhead that gave me a clean look and I wasn't about to adjust the vegetation and take the chance of knocking the BF into my pond.
