I did try to access the photo (as a moderator) to better count the red spots but the download and photo editor functions were not working.

@WendyEM This photo was taken at a fair distance with a macro lens. My longer lens was in my backpack.

that's fine Alison, that is what I use for everything - I only have a macro. I am meant to be able to look at the picture outside of NM so I could blow it up more, but the computer said 'no'
