Roz, this caught my eye during the challenge and again when reviewing the results. The soft colors and textures are so beautiful against the butterfly’s sharp eye and proboscis. A wonderful shot!

Roz, I have many more images to take in from your portfolio, as it’s prolific and the images deserve time and attention. But, this one TOTALLY blew me away the moment I opened it. Literally, I said “wow!” The technical execution of those perfectly crisp, sharp ants, the composition, and beautiful shallow DOF…and those colors! I took a look at your exposure settings and think I may be using slightly too shallow DOF when I shoot insects. I’m going to take a book out of the master Roz playbook and try around an f/7. Just awesome!!!! xx
