Hah! Thanks! Yeah, sometimes I look back at a batch and wonder how much caffeine I had when doing post that day.
Not much of an excuse, but maybe a reason, a lot of these insect shots are highly cropped, I mean, maybe down 90% or more into nearly 100% pixel peep territory, so it gets hard to hide any attempt to manipulate the image. Then Flickr adds its own sharpening mess to the shot when you link to a resized image.
The real answer is prolly for me to get closer or use a longer lens but these darn flighty little things wont stay put in the frame.
joking aside, thanks for the heads up, it is always good to get some open honest feedback to know when I am pushing things a bit far in PP.
