Nice shot Lydia. I really like the composition and the complimentary background. I'm shocked that there is no motion blur considering the shutter speed.

What were your thoughts in planning this shot? What are trying to convey with the shallow depth of field? Did you choose it because of the background?

Very cute Lydia and great colors! I can never get critters to stay still long enough for a portrait! :-)

Lydia, this is superb. I love the color you chose for the background. And the bugs are amazing.

It's hard enough to catch one bug in crisp focus, let alone two. Good Job.

He thought he'd heard something. Walking out onto the patio, he looked around. Nothing was there. He stood for a moment and listened closely. Still nothing. Odd, he was certain he'd heard someone, or something, out here. Had been fairly positive. Frowning a little, he took one last look over the edge, at the traffic below and shook his head before walking back inside and taking his position by the glass door, while his boss finished the deal.

Outside, silently, Spider-Bug crawled back out from under the overhang. That had been a close one, but it was time to finish this...

Maybe a slightly larger depth of field to get the whole bugs in focus?

This would be better with a cooler background.

Great concept. Degree of difficulty high. Execution falls a little short and would be improved if dof included the entire subject.
