This is my first post to "True Macro-Photography Forum" as I have been reluctant to post my photos. I do not have a true macro lens but use one of the screw on macro adapter lens. Some day I hope to purchase a true macro lens. This is the original jpg photo, no processing has been done.

This is an excellent capture! Because these Hairstreaks are so small, it is possible to crop to near life-size, and hold both in one, tight image. Do not hesitate to crop, rotate, and tweak your image just a bit. I would be proud to call this image my own.

Yes, I normally do crop, tweak and whatever else it takes to get the job done. I posted this particular image so you could see exactly what it is that I have to work with. Thank you for the comments, I appreciate it. I'll post some additional images soon.
