I think the only reason this little guy didnt fly off was because I blinded him with the flash lol

Daddy long legs dont have wings. but it is a good shot. I think a larger DOF would have been better for this shot.

We call those may-flies and a daddy-long-legs is a spider, but I suppose different folks call hings by different names. Good catch - nice detail on the wings.

knickers71uk,

Opens up a whole new subject area for you, doesn't it? Very good. Were you several feet away and zoomed, or close with Macro?

white balance is off (its too blue), in photoshop (or similar) try using the "auto colour" option under the edit menu.
