Sand flea? Good shot. The color ruins it. It fades into the background too much. Would have been a great photo otherwise. 4 is the best I can give as is. Sorry. PTL
challenge -- met technical -- when the photo first displayed i went 'ugh' at the greenish color cast but now that i've looked at the photo some more i find that it actually works. the hind legs kind of melt together because there's no contrast in color and they are blurry. the rest of your focus is good. composition -- fine, maybe upper antenna is a tad too close to the top of the frame. -- gr8photos
Well isn't he creepy! Is he one of those pill bugs? Your focus is very nice. The detail you show us here is just great. I love the little shell like plating around the edge. Thanks for doing this shot from his underside, I don't think the other side would be this interesting. The lighting is nice. I wasn't for sure about the colored tint, but as I think about it, black and white wouldn't look as nice, neither would sepia. I think being a bug, the greenish tint works nicely. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
