Challenge: Fauna III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D
Lens: Quantaray AF Macro 50mm f/2.8 for Minolta
Location: USF Botanical Gardens
Date: Mar 28, 2009
Aperture: f/4.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2000s
Date Uploaded: Mar 29, 2009

 Converted from RAW via ACR (cropped, adjusted exposure, saturation, white balance, brightness, and contrast), adjusted hue/saturation in CS2, curves, adjusted saturation yet again, 'reduce noise' function over whole image, and a final levels adjustment.

I hope this scores well after my last challenge. I didn't even see these little buggers but for some reason glanced at the ground while I was walking and noticed a bunch of them hopping around.

Very creative title and photo; you have made me love bugs...or perhaps it is the photo I really love. Great Job!
