Crikey, there's a fair bit of detail there (viewed LARGE) You can even see the hairs on the leading edge of the wings!

Brilliant Greg.

Thank you Yes the magnification of x50 and the Canon 5D MkII pulled a bit more out than when I did this a couple of years back with the Canon 40D and a magnification of only x20.
