I can't complain too much about this shot--especially the lovely colors contrasting the wings.

This is a unique angle for a butterly shot. Nice rich colors and good choice of focus.

I love the delicate wings, made more so by the duotone. 9

Water droplets and rule of thirds make this photo really stark and nice. The rule of thirds lets us know that there's a spider around somewhere. It the bug were centered, it would not be so. 10

A Maize of Corn

To Clues56: I simply held my camera in my right hand and the cob of corn in the other, pressed the cob against the bottom of the camera for stability, set a fairly deep DOF (actually I took about two dozen shots with varying depths of field). The entire shot was taken around 6 pm when the sun was still in the sky but fairly low, and I made sure that I was in the shade, with background stuff fairly far away. So my fancy lighting is the sun, but in the shade.
