Whoops. I wasn't sure if I wanted to really enter this or not. I had it in, then a few minutes before rollover I realized I forgot to decide. Oh well!

This shot does show the power of the 5D Mark III auto focus. I shot this handheld, on a windy day. So I was using AI Servo mode to try to focus the beetle while I keep the flower in frame.

Wonderful yellows.

Shame about that super contrasty scene - I'd love to see this after editing too!~

Super shot, underexposed in harsh light and colours pushed in camera? Very nice. Composition is perfect and that is photography, not just editing :)
