I can't get over how cute those back legs are hanging off the back of the flower! Okay, let's get serious now...Nice DOF and BG and I like the image overall. The flower looks hot on my work monitor - both the petals and the center bud. I would suggest trying to lower the contrast or bring down the highlights just a bit to see if you could get less harshness in these areas. Composition overall is very nice...I love that the flower has a tilt and the position of the insect is wonderful!
I like the way the white flower serves as a buffer between the green katydid and the green background which is beautiful, by the way. I agree that a bit more dof would be nice particularly on the hind legs. I'm not sure the whites are hot but they are warm! ;) Overall nice job.
Hi Keith,
Of all the places........he had to be on the white flower! Way cool pose and judging by your settings..........you pushed the limit about as far as you could. Unless it was dead still.........you wouldn't be able to go slower.
