Nice demonstration of how even the smallest bug can efect the surface of the water. -COAmature

Thanks for commenting, CJ. I did make it a bit darker but any more sharpness is pretty hard to get with this subject at this resolution, given their size. Their little bodies are only 10 pixels wide and their legs are a bare 1-2 pixels. I've shot these guys before and it is difficult to get more detail unless they are a lot more magnified. Thanks again, -mikey

Great idea and colors here Mikey! I wish the little bugs were a tad sharper - maybe making this a little darker might make them show up a little better. Nice anyway though! ;-) CJ

Haha, not that much changes from kids to older folks. More so the older I get. Attention span is getting shorter (again) but pets aren't getting any less expensive; neither are hobbies, ha! Thanks for the comment, Tom. Cheers, -mikey

Great colors & the bugs footing gives the water surface texture. Brings back memories of watching these little guys skate across the water, while we were out looking for snakes, toads, crawdads, anything we could put in a jar or shoebox. Only to be released a few days later. Attention span was short & pets were cheap.
