Not next door to me. ;-) Nice portrait. She looks very bold and self-confident.

This is a nice shot. Good composition. The lighting could be stronger on the right side. Maybe another light or a reflector. Or even turn her around, since the light is coming from the left.

"The two images obviously don't look like they should be together" is the key. But it was a worthwhile experiment that leads to better things. A background would be better without sky; the frame would be better settled on the ground with an appropriate shadow. Get a frame and photograph it in situ and then fill it in as might be. Work from there. Somewhat like this.

Boo!

I like the short DOF here and background colors. 7.

I know it's almost impossible to do this when working in macro, but I wonder if it might have been a more interesting photo if you'd had a wider DOF, so that the details of its body would have been in focus too.

WOW - nice capture! I love how this macro revealed the textures in this beetle's carapace. The colors are fantastic as well! << 9 >>
