I was quite chuffed when I realised I was the mod that got to choose the POTW for the 'newly improved' forum! This week was an easy one for me (not usual) when I stumbled across Marc's macro's of the Dragon Fly's and his series found here. There were more than one great images in this series but I particularly liked the red dragon fly, the detail is incredible!  Congrats to Marc for this week's POTW. I'm not usually one to mention more than one image that appeals to me in a week, but this week is different. If you havent' seen it already - take a look at Greencardigan's What is it? thread too, of the corallimorph, another beautiful image - well done to GC too!

Many thanks Geoff, the 200-400 makes for a great, (though somewhat expensive) macro lens!
Cheers Marc
