.... should do bugs Nonda !!! Can be fun !!!

The little critter is sharp and well exposed ...not sure about the perch Seems to overwhelm the insect As presented might lower saturation just a bit Do like the bg a lot Very appealing !!!! Difficult getting really close without a macro lens You can place a closeup filter on your lens but is not all that much fun to use !!!

[Harold Davis]

for someone who doesnt do bugs you aint half bad!!!!:p i like it!! maybe would tone down the oranges a little. bee looks sharp.

would extension tubes help you get any closer?

Hi Nonda - love this - great background!

[Katie Rupp]

I think you do "do bugs" :D I worked hard at salvaging one of mine from last week and finally decided to bag it. Good job, Nonda.

[Lance Peters]

Love the BG - Agree with the comments about the flower.

:)

Maybe I should say flower with bug:p Did desat the flower, needs more I guess, its WAY dayglow orange in real life.

Mr H I do use extension tubes, used the 20mm with this and this is about a macroie as I get or my eyes cross:D Or I might have to use a TP and that also makes my eyes cross (you didn't hear that Alfred). Could try the 35mm tube and see what happens.

Thanks folks!!!!

Yes you do do bugs! I like the image, Nonda. Nice comp, nice colors. Did you see how some of the little individual flowers have faces and eyes?? The 3rd one from the right on the top looks like a screaming face!!! How do you like the 70-200f/ 2.8??

I like it Nonda,
Your subject is razor sharp and I do like the flower...maybe tone down or desat the oranges. Its a matter of taste...good job...:D
