February 2009 competition winner

The winner of the February 2009 photo of the month was me – Con Murphy.  The subject was Macro.  I took this photo one day when the sky was grey and with nothing else to photograph.

It was dark so I shot this at ISO 640,  f5.6 at 1/85th of a second with a 70/300 lens.  The only thing i did in photoshop was to sharpen slightly.
