Lady-Bugby cryanComment by hajeka: That's a wonderful bug! Colors and composition are so nice and I like the green background. But, as  ursula already mentioned, the glare is somewhat distracting. |

Lady-Bugby cryanComment by MelonMusketeer: Composition makes this shot for me. The way the leaves and bud accent the curves of the bug are very nice. Great POV for this shot.
That Sigma serves you well for this kind of shooting. |

Taking-a-Drinkby cryanComment by MelonMusketeer: The centered composition works nicely for this subject. I like the little antennae balls. The blur and "noise" in the BG works fine for me. It puts the insect on the front burner that way. I like it. |

Lady-Bugby cryanComment by ursula: That's very close! I like it how you can see so clearly the imperfections of the spots on the lady bug. The glare is a little bit on the distracting side (did you try with a polarizer? it cuts down on the glare a lot). But it's a well-composed image. Good work. |

Crazed Povertyby cryanComment by Purple_Girl: The only thing that spoils this shot for me is that his t-shirt, while cut up, still looks clean and new. The trousers look grubby, as does his face and his hair is messy, which all fits nicely but his top looks clean. Other than that, great shot, good focus and contrast. |

Taking-a-Drinkby cryanComment by cryan: Addressing the noise, I shot this at ISO 800. I dont have NN or any other noise software. |

Taking-a-Drinkby cryanComment by glad2badad: Good detail on the focal point of this image. The DOF works fine for me and does a nice job of eliminating distractions. I also like the comp and positioning of items in the frame. Only nit from me is the noisy bg...high ISO, or did you bring up the shadows (histogram/curves/levels) in post? |
