63 Aug 23 Comment This image is excellent in so many ways! The subjects are clearly presented and are as sharp as required. The refraction in the drops come through nicely. There is a great distribution in the size and placement of the drops. The composition is so very effective in providing wonderful leading lines and in the distribution of subject vs empty space. The nice soft background contains sufficient detail to suggest the locations here without competing with the subject at all. I only wish my images would match this one is quality and excellence.

63 Aug 23 Comment I agree with the earlier comments. Nicely seen and captured. The bloom and bugs are as sharp as they need to be and I like how the outer elements soften out. This aids in giving us a sense of depth here. I will respectively disagree with the comment upon the background that "you did the best you could have under the circumstances". I am not suggesting that you might have done more in capturing this image, but I do submit that we don't always have to accept everything that our camera captures. If you agree with the concept that in creating our images we seek to "reflect what we saw and felt as we were there" and that this is the objective of our image, then changing parts in post processing is a viable and often productive step in our image generation process. In this case I don't find the background as been overly distracting, but if one wished to deemphasize it further, one might clone out the bright pick areas and blur the background a bit more. We are in controls of our images. Aug 14th
63 Aug 23 Comment What an interesting and compelling image (and a bit frightening for us "bug-a- phobes"). The stacking was a good choice allowing you to effectively capture the detail of the head and near portions of the thorax. Colors and composition are all nicely done. It is an intreating point of discussion as to how much of the subject should (or more appropriately stated as "do you wish") to be in focus. Only allowing the head and near parts of the subject to be in focus influences how we see the critter and draws our attention to the regions you wish to nightlight. However, as seen in this image, the contrast between the sharp and blurred legs, appearing visually so close to each other, does draw our eye to the blurred areas, which may not be what you wish. I am wondering if darkening these blurred areas might give us a bit great sense of depth, thereby lessen the effect noted above. I don't think there is a true right-or wrong point here. This is a subtle point, but one worth considering in our more advanced images. Nice Job. Aug 14th
63 Aug 23 Comment I am enjoying this image. There is a simplicity to the shot which is mirrored in the clean smooth texture of the subject. I find that the background does add a bit of interest to the image, although I might consider decreasing the brightness of the hot spots in the background some. A great example of capturing an interesting image of what some might consider a rather mundane subject. Nice Job. Aug 14th
63 Aug 23 Reply I am discovering (if I did not already know it) it's less about the camera, and more about what is behind the finger on the shutter button. Aug 12th
