After having been called 'bug crowd' by Artie, I couldn't resist posting another one (I actually planned to post a flower before I read his tulip post) :t3.
I finally managed to get a decent image of a pond skater on my trip to Extremadura. Usually, they are too fast for me. These ones were to busy finding a mate and fighting off competitors, that they took little notice of me.
I deliberately chose to show a lot of surrounding, because I liked the play of light in the water and to show some of this species flowing habitat (at was in a small river rather then a pond). I made a closer crop that I found much less interesting, but I like to hear your thoughts as well.
D7000, 200mm Micro, handheld, ISO-500, f/8, 1/400 sec, EV -1.
Minor PP work in ACR.
