Challenge:Country Life (Classic Editing) Camera:Sony DSC-F707 Location: 10 kilometers out of the city Date: Jun 21, 2003 Aperture: 4.5 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/800 Galleries:Nature, Animals Date Uploaded: Jun 21, 2003
Great job of capturing the moth with his proboscis in the flower. A rare critter and an even rarer shot. I don't see any high rises in the background so I guess it's country, too.
The DOF is very good in this image, but there is so much blurry background that it almost is difficult to look at. I think had you either cropped tighter around the subject, or moved in, or zoomed in, some more, it would have been a more effective picture...especially if you had concentrated on the bird and flowers.
At first I thought this was a flying frog :-) Its face does kind of look like a frog doesn't it? Good composition, the main subjects are in focus and the background nicely blurred out. Maybe just a little too much motion blur as some of the wing has disappeared. Perhaps a faster shutter speed could have improved that. The lighting is perfect - 8.
This is so close to being an amazing shot, the colours, lovely motteled background are both wonderful. It is just a shame that the wings and body of the bird/butterfly(?) have been lost, if there was more detail, it would have been perfect.
Wow that is an amazing shot. Great job. It doesn't really fit the challenge however, but I LOVE it otherwise. Still a 7 (I can't resist). If it were a "Bird" challenge it would probably be a 10. :)
