Great macro Jano, and good idea to wait for it to get into best position to get the terrific looking bokeh background! :-) CJ

Thanks Penny. You just never know what you might find when you pick up the camera. I think I've always been the one to put the challenge in "intention mode"...., but sometimes when you pick up the camera, the challenge topic can come in naturally. That's what makes these challenge fun. (I need to remember that)!! jano

I'm glad to hear how the shot evolved - not that it matters since your creativity shines through regardless!! Penny Street

Thanks all for commenting. This bug was crawling on my front door, so I thought why not? Set on manual, I found that I also had to focus in manual to get the bug in focus. As I was hunting for a good perspective, this little glare or blokeh came into view... which gave me a whole new perspective so I again moved the camera to capture the bug inside the blokeh. So, although the blokeh was found, the final image was much intended to put the bug inside the blokeh. So actually the final image was intended to be exactly what is seen :) Anyway, I'm glad you like it. jano

Works very well Jano however it was seen. The bug seems to be floating away in a bubble - fancifully surreal or new science of pest control? Uniquely creative either way. -tv

Nice bokeh - almost an ellipse ;) - Debi

Things don't have to envisioned, Jano may have just wanted to get a bug shot & when she saw the roundish bokeh saw & took an opportunity, that's how lots of picys come to light. Anyhow no matter if she envisioned or was opportunistic she got a great challenge picy a

Impressive. I don't know how you framed it so well or how you could even have envisioned it before the shot. Impressive. -Doug
