As I commented on Flickr, I think this one is superb. It is also repaying repeated viewing - I've just noticed the details of the bug's shadow.

Great work.

Another great critter shot lovely detail. I like the contrast between shiny, hard beetle and soft, silky petals.

terryjoey,

Thanks. Glad you haven't seen the rejects

kunaldaswani,

Thank you. That, Sir, is a dead bug (don't know its real name).

wulf,

Thanks again. Time of day does give some distinct differences.

purplepixie,

Thanks for that. It was the color that grabbed me, and the munching sounds.

Love this shot. Very nice work. Also realised that you don't always need a large f-stop for a macro shot.

underexposed,

Thanks. Just experiment some, after you get the basics. I go by what's in the viewfinder, more than what's considered "correct." Sort of like playing by ear if you aren't so keen on reading music.

Very Nice! I like the color contrast in particular - really pops the bug out.
