pretty cool depth of field, mr waas. looks like the caterpillar is shaking!! i'd crop off the upturned part of the leaf? does look a little cleaner without it. i like the purple bg. it does have a dust bunny in it though upper left side.:)

Ditto Harold! Richard, This is cool!Love the hue of purple in BG!

Good advise given Mr. Waas,
I like the selective focus point and the depth of field...the color rendition is super...nicely done, keep the macros coming...:D:cool:

Love the way the bg is diffused. Great details Rich.

Looks good Richard Cool view and well executed !!!!

btw take advantage of your fine noise and crank up the ISO for shutter speed !!!

I was thinking of cropping the bottom, but I was concerned about being too close to the bottom of the picture, so I compromised and cropped a little and cloned some to even it out. Also, I've been anointed with my first dust bunny, cleaned up, thanks....
