Liking the diagonal, the anticipation, two bugs and a flower, the background., the dof: a lot to like!

[Faraaz Abdool]

Beautiful complementary colours, Jonathan. The diagonal and the positioning of the bugs are compositionally perfect, and there's some degree of tension between the two of them. Lovely!

Fantastic image, Jon.
Is the small one an aphid ? And... what happened next ?:bugeyed:

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks for the comments everyone. What happened next? Well the beetle went anticlockwise and the aphid went clockwise and the aphid survived.
