Great use of narrow DOF. Love how he pops off of the page. If it were mine, I'd make that green border not quite as intense and VERY skinny. ;~D

So handsome! I'm sure you know the drinking song Finnigan's Wake? Being of Irish heritage and a patron of Irish pubs, I've sung it many, many times. :o)

Wonderful image. Love the lighting and DOF on the little critter. It can stand on its own without the border. Great shot!

Comment by BlueZamia:
The shallow DOF creates a whole landscape for the bug. I like how the crispness of the focused part drifts into the BG. I'm not a border fan and this one doesn't work for me.

Oh nice catch! Love the sunny yellow and the lime green hopper...It just screams summer. I'm not a big fan of the border...anything that competes with the true subject isn't necessary IMO. This little hopper definitely does not need to be "caged" so to speak.

Great image! I like the green border, but I think I like the processing better along the edge. The difference is what is distracting to me.

Hi This is great image. I agree with Bear Music-the image is quite good & does seem to be challenged by the border. Also, how is a border done? (I really have no clue) but it seems as though the image outside the border is more clear-is that possible? Maybe just the lighting of the photo, but the border accentuates the difference? Anwyay, nice job & I think it's fun to play and experiment in front of a "friendly" crowd!
