sorry, but it isnť interesting much... for me... better will be alive one

top-quark · 07-23-2012, 05:05 PM

I'd say the opposite: excellent capture.

cool shot EM, great colors here and wing clarity too.

I'd say, you should rotate it because It took awhile for me to understand what I was looking at for a second. Or maybe it's just me. Haha

Yes he looked interesting and the light was good.

Wait a second and I'll rotate the Birdbath. LOL

Clever answer. Just rotate the shot, not the environment.

Here's another one for you.

Great shot, that's one way to make them stay still. My 12yo niece is going through a now more than 12 month phase of shooting/collecting anything dead, feel for sure she will end up as a forensic pathologist.

That in itself is a well respected profession.

I almost didn't look at this one EM because I have a short attention span for bugs but something about the thumbnail caught my eye and am I glad it did. Dead or not, I really like this one. It is a beauty and wonderfully detailed. The color is striking.

Thank you and I'm glad you looked in.

The first shot is a temite alate, not an ant. Be happy it drowned and not ending up in your woodwork.

Yes I had a feeling it was, thanks. We call them White Ants here.

Survival of the fittest. Very nice job, EM.
