Well spotted - I was experimenting with focus stacking to get
greater depth of field. 2 shots of same subject with different
focus points, then put them into one picture. Unfortunately just
missed getting sufficient overlap from the 2 shots.
From now one you shall be dubbed "Eagle-Eye"

Thanks! There I was thinking I was going crazy... I've not used that
technique before, so it isn't something that occurs to me.One of these
days I'll get more serious about macros. >> Stay informed about: [photo] Are you a leg man? |

You are crazy. By the way, I've since ID'd it and it's not a
gnat, it's a crane fly. I should look in my book before posting.
Always getting my gnats, midges, and everything else in between
mixed up.

A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is
one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.
