Fooling around with my not so perfect shots from last week. This is a 1.5 to 2 mm bug (Meligethes aeneus) that I saw on the side of a marigold flower. I know this is on the blurry side, not so perfectly focussed. I liked the colors and shapes though.

LOL...I love the title you've given this one. Sometimes I don't need to see every hair that a bug may need to shave off in order to enjoy the composition of an upload. This one holds a very attractive color and who wouldn't love the Black Sneaker? :)

I really like this shot. I like how the foreground is blurred it a bit and the focus is on the bug. Nice colours too! Thanks for sharing.

Fab shot. The short DOF works really well here. Everything that needs to be sharp is in focus so great work in here. The colour and contrast are the good thing here. And of course the beautiful orange blur. I'm not very sure about the borders and the font of the name though. Somehow they make me think of some sampleimages that you find with new software or in a new mediaplayer's folders :P

Wow, you really did a good job on this one. Not only capturing the fiery colour, but also such a kewl macro...the bug makes it something special, altho it would be fine without it too. Its just a very blazing shot...thankies..verena
