Artist's Comments

This cranefly suspended itself between several blades of grass allowing me to get a good shot of it. They are sometimes called Daddy Long-Legs over here in the UK as are Harvestmen. Both seem to have a terrifying effect on young ladies :-)

Nikon Coolpix 4300. Cropped and border added in Photoshop.

that looks really good. i like how the background is kinda out of focus.

Not on all young ladies though. They don't scare me at all :) Maybe because I study Biology, am quite fond of small crawly creatures in general and know that these two can do me no harm.
Nice capture, as far as I can tell from the preview version (DA refuses to give me full view).

I too am one of those "young ladies" who this amazing insect does not scare, in fact it intrigues me

Over here in Canada, Ontario most people called/mistake crane flies as gaint mosquitoes. Poeple try to kill them and i try to save them. I'm very pleased for this wonderfully beautiful shot.
