fascinating creatures! we used to watch them for hours at the pond when we were kids! amazing to be able to observe how they do it in your shot! a really great macro, mark! love the reflections of their skinny stick-like legs on the water! still can't fully grasp their magic, though! they seem to be made of hooks and eyes… greetings, sabine.Angelika El. 20.
