David's comments suit me just fine :smile:, man o man Ronnie. Get down here and give some lessons M8t. Not only a great ratio, but also excellent comp and perch. Stunning details and the lighting is to die for.

Just keep them coming Ronnie, love every single shot. Please don't ever do a web site M8t, you would make some us feel real bad :smile:

Danny.

Nice image Ronnie. I guess the males don't bite much like the "normal" mosquitoes. Nice bg and good details.

Ronnie, please, don't you have another mosquito. Well, on second look I'd stick with this one. Fantastic.
