I think you're sandbagging, Phil. Looks as if you did a bangup job to me. I'd like the opportunity to shoot one...never seen them around here.

I've also spent some time photographing these recently, they're real beauties aren't they. This is a nice image. I'll be interested to see your close-ups, particularly if they're with flash - I took a few last year with my MP-E 65 with flash and found it very difficult to keep the reflections to a reasonable level.

Nice shot Phil, male and female are very reflective like you say. My best results recently are with natural light.
