Challenge: Stupid, Stupid! (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D50
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro Super II for Nikon
Location: Scoville Park, Oak Park, IL
Date: Aug 15, 2006
Aperture: 5.6

 I took this picture at Scoville Park while tyring out my Sigma 70-300 APO on macro mode.

I found a lot of bugs around me during the evening and then I follow them to take several pictures. As there were several mosquitoes and other bugs around me, maybe 90% of the shots came out in blur. Few ones like this here were ok (you can see why those couple bugs here are not moving, right ?)

Now a question remains: Am I more stupid than those bugs ? ;o) Let's wait for the challenge votes to answer.

I'd have cropped this a bit tighter to remove a lot of the empty space

I think it needs more DOF to make it clear what is happening here.
