    Default Not Noise... It's the theme

    Kinda like Bosque for bugs, don't you think? ;)

    Sigh. Didn't see them till I got home. I momentarily did think it was noise. There were veritable clouds of these thankfully non-biting flies on shore... I just didn't think they would be out over the water (what I get for thinking).

    Just a little pp to bring out the, er, subject.


    Cheers,

    Nice image and application, Michael.

    I like the image as presented ... But for the theme, I would have cropped it to include only the right most set of "piles?". That would have brought out the no see-ums better. But ... your imqge, your vision.

    Of itself, I like the image and the reflections of the wood.

    I like the basic COMP but would suggest that you apply the Increase Bug Density Filter in Photoshop CS-5 :)

    And there I was cloning bugs out of my sunsets and I could have used them for the theme <g>. Fortunately I didn't have nearly that many. I like the reflections.

    I really like this, very well seen. The only thing that bugs me :) is I'd like to see more room on right and bottom.

    Michael, Way to think OOTB! I too like the comp. Just a tiny bit tight in the frame but I know you wanted to show the bugs. Nicely done.:)

    That's a great idea Michael, I like it! That's a serious cloud of bugs.

    Actually, over the water was where they were the least... in the little puddles on shore, now that was serious...
