This little bug covered with polen is less than 5 mm long. Captured on macro mode with my SONY F707. Enjoy!

I hope this image gets the attention it deserves because the bug isn't as clearly a part of the image in the thumbnail as it is on the full size image. Having exactly the bug in focus with a setting that has only limited DOF shows a lot of skill and patience (and possibly some luck to. Not only pleasant to look at but also very interesting to see how the bug gets covered with pollen... Hewy.

Very nice capture and perfect composition, Zoomboy! Looks like the bug's been rolling around in snow for a while before visiting :-) Mark J

Hey, that does look like popcorn! Reminds me also of some flowers at our wedding. What kind are they? JoeSchmoe

I really like this, ZoomBoy...very pleasing to view. The composition/subject matter, bright lighting, colors, and DOF all combine for nice effect. Nice image of a "pollen field". On the humorous side, I keep wanting some popcorn when I look at this :) MFC

Very nice! The bug and the flowers lead one on into the picture, and the DOF works great. Also, the softness and simplicity of the colors are enjoyable. JoeSchmoe
