    Post your Insect shots

    Nikon D70 f7.1 1/800 What I was shooting for was to contrast the bug with the loofa blossom. I had about 4 seconds to get this, as the bug was flitting all over the place. As per the suggestions from other posts, I also more closely cropped this shot than I usually do. Tell me what you think...

    Just a heads up...

    When you have a new or nearly new camera, be it Nikon, Olympus, Canon, ect, sometimes it is nice to have a manual other than the manufacturers manual.

    Blue Flower with Tiny Bug

    OK How is this? I also de-pooped the leaf in the lower left and completely removed the leaf that the bug was on. Instead of 5500K, I reduced the brightness and slightly increased the contrast. Thanks for the suggestions. Still trying to wrap my head around the square, but I am coming around. Pete

    Blue Flower with Tiny Bug

    Is this what you had in mind? This is a new approach for me. I have never been a fan of the square. I have always preferred the rectangle, but this could grow on me. But it still seems like something is off. I guess now it becomes Blue Flower without Tiny Bug!

    Blue Flower with Tiny Bug

    I chose the head on approach so that I could get as much of the flower detail as possible. I have done nothing in PS other than to re-size for this critique. I like the shot, but my hind brain tells me something is wrong. I just don't see it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pete
