Bug

Walking around looking for something -- anything! -- to
get my PaD. Found this little fellow flitting about and asked
him to spread his wings and pose. He couldn't have been
more than a quarter of an inch long. But he was a very
cooperative fellow!

By the way the background was a piece of black foamboard
I took with me to isolate flowers from their actual backgrounds.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Fantastic! The white flower looks great against the black background, and the insect is a nice bonus!

cool close up shot!

Great work Gary, but....how did you get the foamboard behind this flower without disturbing the bug and making it fly off?? Love the lighting and comp, very well done.

This is very well done! Well framed and the colors are just right.

Great photo you got Gary!!! it`s fantastic. Nice how clear the bug is.
Just wonder, how do you know the bug is "HE"?? instead "SHE"? What did you see with that close up for being so sure? LOL!!!!!!!

Great image and caption!!!!

Beautiful composition (I think that's a hover fly). I love the delicate flower he's sitting on; he compliments it perfectly. Must add black foamboard to my shopping list!

How very perfect! The insect is so sharp and clear against the white flowers.

Cool detail on the wings; neat flower, too. Like the idea of black foamboard (just one more thing to haul around :( At least it's not heavy... Good shot.
