The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Hi, David...
When I saw this photo, the first thing that came to my simple mind was "How did he get the beetle to sit up and pose?" As with many of your photos, I am most impressed with the unusual perspective. The photo is perfectly focused and has wonderful color and great lighting.

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." Ansel Adams - Please look at other images in my Gallery.
Amazing detail, and it looks like he's going "Hey, look at meeee!"
The cropping, however, is not pleasing to me. The composition it brings is good and pleases the eye, but it taunts the viewer, saying "I got more, but you may not see it." or "I cropped the backend away because it was out of focus."
Pls, the whole bug. I wanna see the whole bug!
As far as macroes go, this is a 9/10, good shot mate! =)

"We, the Dreamers, are thus alike.
For our dreams we will fight, and we'll write
the future history less bloody than the past,
with our dreams we'll build a peace to last!"

Life is precious; therefore, do not waste it by doing things mechanically without love. We should try to put love into everything we do. - Amma
