Sandy: Can’t say that I recall ever seeing one of these presented here. Nice find and really good DOF management and BG. Well done.>=))>
Perfect depth of field and an excellent composition, Sandy. I like this a lot.
Hi Sandy, interesting subject. Nice details on the cricket and fine colors too. Interesting pose showing the underside.
A great shot, Sandy. The details in this little guy is really good, with great lighting.
Really well done image of this African beetle. What really makes this work for me is the depth of field and complementary colors between the bug and the plants.
Sandy: the tone of the subject really makes it pop against the light and oof background. The detail captured really draws the eye. Congrats! Richard
Sandy, somehow I missed this one. Needless to say I am so envious that you are able travel the world to get so many images. I’m a big fan of using long telephotos for close up work, and this one is a good example. Details are great, and the harmonious colors work really well with this guy. That’s quite an interesting little beast.
