Surprise in my glass by J_E_F

Nikoneer: So who do you suppose was more surprised, you or him? It's a fun shot and I like the position you've placed him in. The temptation to center the subject is often hard to resist and it's works quite well, like this one of yours, when we do something different. Although the bottom right quadrant at first appears empty, I can see blades of grass through the glass and the "emptiness" there allows your friend a direction to go, visually. I also love the double patterning on him (her?) with the mottling of natural color and the stripes thrown by the ribbed glass. I think I'll snitch a copy and send it to my son who has a couple lizards for pets. Thanks.

J_E_F: Contest or no, this is still a lovely shot. on a chilly day like today in snowy Canada, this brings in some welcome colour and warmth.

Honeybee #11 by ryzst

casechaser: Gawd Russ, that is a close-up. lol. You are such a master at these macros. Best wishes in the contest. ~~ John

ryzst: Thank you both. They look kind of cuddly, like flying plush toys, don't they?

Foxfire66: Truly incredible macro's Russ. The limits of DOF in macro shots,right. A continuing frustration. We do what we can, with with what we got.
