Macro and Flora Image of the Week for the week ending Aug. 2nd, 2013: Jason Stander - Opportunists

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Jason!

Hi all... I trust that you are all well? Sorry that I have not posted in a while!

This an image of a female flower crab spider with her bee catch.

She has 3 opportunist waiting for her spoiled sucked juices... 2 jackal flies and an ant.

With the MPE... you have such a shallow dof and to capture all the action and detail is a task and a half... so yes I would have like more canvas on the left... but hey you cant get everything... otherwise I am happy with the result.

Crits and comments are always welcome... ENJOY!
