It's the soft focus that makes the flower look more delicate but the poo spider is unnecessary as we still cant really see it so it can be buggered off..................I think:-)

The main subject here is that tiny little insect (it's really super tiny, you can't see it with the naked eye). This is a macro/close up so naturally the little flower is OOF, which is intentional.

Have to agree with you though, I'm lazy for not cloning out those spots. Been cloning out the spots in other photos (of the same flower) till I said...heck with it.

Finally somebody gets it!!! Gets wot Aammm? If the OOF flower was the point of your shot then me suggestion of getting rid of the blob spider & its poo would have made the OOF flower more obvious...........I think anyhow:-)

Finally somebody gets it.

Thanks, CJ.

Nicely done aam - very delicate color and the OOF flower looks very soft. CJ

Thanks Techo. This was taken sideways.

Looks like the bottom of a pit. The bug in the middle there looks like it's laying unconscious. Nice focus and exposure.

Could work as an abstract I guess.
Thanks Doug.

The exposure really works for me, maybe even makes it more delicate. Could this be a leftover idea from abstract? -COAmature

It's the flower and the tiny insect. The insect is so small you can barely see it with your eyes, if you can see it at all.

Thanks for the comment, Britt.

I don't quite understand the delicate here, but the image is interesting to look at. Britt

Lazy sod:-)
aam1234 22-Jun-2007 23:41
That's too much work, mate. Forget it :)
Rod 22-Jun-2007 23:13
de la bombe mate:-) Now that high key look does give a sense of delicacy well done Aamm. It's funny that your focal point the spider/ant thingy is wot spoils it for me I would clone it out & the two specks of spider/ant poo to the left of it. Then it would really screem delicate for me & I would have to say comme d'hab as well:-)

Merci, Olivier.
