    I'm looking for help identifying the flower and the insect. Taken in the Adirondacks, NY in June.
    Canon 40D with 180 macro, ISO 100, f/13, 1/6 sec, twin light macro flash, on gitzo tripod.

    Hi David,

    The flower is an Orange Hawkweed (not fully opened). We don't seem to have them around here in PA but I did make some nice images of them up in Acadia National Park (ME) back in June. The bug I have to leave to someone else to identify.

    I am curious as to what you may have done in post-processing with this image. It looks awfully soft given that you shot at f/13 and used a tripod. So I am assuming that you did something to create this look. Actually, from a purely creative perspective, I kinda like it. As I look at this more, it must be the angle at which you made the image. It looks like you may have focused on the insect here.

    David,

    The selective focus and DOF as presented works great for me. The soft light and colors are great. Beautiful.

    My only change would be to give the subject a little more room in the frame.
