I like this a lot, ants are a tough subject at best!

Excellent light and shadow play! Love the velvety texture you have captured here, Clyde. Very nice composition.

Very good detail and color...I love how you captured the depth in the center of the flower...looks like the bug is holding on for dear life :) Amazing photo!

Amazing!

Very nice, the flower is so colorful that you hardly notice the insect, i like that a lot. it make the combination between them special.

Such a fantastic color. You could almost reach into the center of the flower. Kudos as usual.

Striking. No pun intended. Love the detail.

Very cool shot.
Awesome detail!

Justo en el momento de la explosión, perfecto. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Excellent work !

I really like this shot, although the intense green detracts a bit from the dragonfly. All in all, I'm very impressed with this. :)

I agree with Ana - a good crop would help this considerably - fantastic image, nonetheless.

Jon

what great detail!

very good shot!! I really like the detail you captured in the wings!

Great use of DoF. I love the look of the wings against the dark greens. I would crop off the whole top right above the ground floor windows on the the pink house. Then a bit of bottom and make a square format.

Your dog was coming through my screen! Great shot. My dog would not have stayed still that long for me to take "the shot". Still smiling looking at this picture.

Paco, así se llama mi perro, es muy nervioso por lo que tuve que llevarlo a correr y cansarlo mucho para poder hacer esta fotografia. (...El duro trabajo del fotografo, ja ja ja ). Saludos

I love the colors going on in this photo! It's a little bright in the background, but still a great subject.

nice macro, but to less sharpness at the head :(

Fantastic colors and overall detail.

Amazing color, I really can't offer any helpful criticism...amaing photo!

Thanks guys, I took this Sat. in Joshua Tree NP in Southern California. It was a gorgeous spring day in the low 80's. I have some wildflower shots coming, stay tuned.

Great colours Clyde, love this picture. cant wait for the wildflower shots :)

Good strong composition and great light and color. Super job.

ta fleur préférée mais pour moi il manque une zone de netteté

I very much like the colours in this shot, the strong lines created by the petals and the light. I find the point of focus a little distracting, particularly that the background texture is in sharp focus but the parts of the flower are not tack sharp - maybe a little more selective focus and a little less/more dof would help make the composition even stronger.

Very unusual shot, I like that!! Do you often shoot the bottoms?? Nicely seen, nicely realized. Small point, maybe a bit deeper DoF to include the curved areas of the green?? Not bad the way it is tho...

Thanks to everyone for your comments!
Beamer: I just flipped it over and noticed how cool the bottom looked...usually don't do that :)

Another great shot captured the ice drop very well! The blue sky draws you back to the ice cool

Andy

Noah,

The comp is a little bit too heavy on the left side - especially considering the subject matter.
