that one in focus ...reminds me of a ballerina .. the stamens i think they're called . i'm not a flower person .. look like legs ..
and the petals .. ie. the dress .. has blown up because she's jumping in the air ..
loving the colours and the out of focus bits too .. :)

Feather in the Grass

Comment:
yep .. i know all about trade-offs .. but i dont usually mind when the subject is a bit shallow dof .. and bits are oof .. i think it adds to the beauty .. its more a creative than practical approach .. thats the best way i know how to express it .. hope you get the drift ...
anyway .. i really like how the little feather is hanging on .. for dear life ... lol .. to that blade of grass ..:)

AWWWW .. loved the story in the macro thread ..
i know aphids arent the greatest insects to have in your garden .. but i'm glad you escorted him outside ..
one more probably wont make any difference .. and he got to be a star here in dpc .. !! ..
btw .. i didnt know aphids had such pretty wings .. love that they are transparent .. a little bit like the mantis fly i entered in two recent challenges .. :)
