this guy didnt stop moving for a second ..
here are some other shots i took of him .. i decided on the challenge one for the focus on his eyes altho i liked the other ones better for their 'pose' ...
i wont be home when this challenge rolls over in an hour .. but thankyou everyone for the great votes .. at the moment its on 6.7606 which is an awesome score ..:)x
later ..OMG .. !! .. THE BLUE ... I CANT BELIEVE IT .. really ..
i looked thru the challenge during voting and there were a couple that i thought had the blue look .. thankyou everyone .. this is amazing .. !!
I gave this a 10 when I voted and commented that I couldn't stop going back to it. I still can't. A truly incredible photo. Congratulations on the well-deserved blue.
Hey Roz - so sorry I didn't see this earlier. So caught up with my "stuff". HUGE congrats on another Blue!!! Those bugs are really working for you! I may go blind looking at them, but I'm happy to do it for you! OXOX ;oD
IMO the photo you chose has the best compositional quality, leading lines and placement really draws your eyes to the focal point of the photo. Great job! I love it!
AWESOME Roz!! I have been blown away by your insect photography!! You have way more patience than I do to follow that little bugger around! Congrats on another great shot!!
Beautiful Rozzy. Yeah you picked the right one. I looked at your others with the better poses but the clarity of this one makes it shine. Well done mate.
Congratulations on yet another blue! I love looking at all your bug photos - a glimpse into a world that I hardly ever see. This summer I am going to have to lie quietly in the garden and just watch.
Holy cow what a shot! I love ants and this one's a beauty. Great capture Roz. I was just thinking about you and your superb images last night, glad to see you're still at it. :)
so far this is top 3 for me and i'm pretty direct with the scores. good job. great focus. good content and angle as well. pretty amazing that you got to show some detail in the black head and body.
This bug is fierce and the shot feels like it is ripped right from the pages of NatGeo. Well done. There is nothing I can add about the technical details of the shot. Everything looks great as far as exposure, focus, composition, etc.
