 This year's tomato crop is not doing so well. Maybe I can salvage it by a good showing in this challenge!

Natural light with 580EX fill flash held off camera. I love my new wireless flash trigger!

Open from RAW - adjust contrast, exposure, sharpness and saturation.

Ahh the woes of macro photography. Part of me hates taking macro shots for the small problems it presents.

I love the moment in time captured here. The moment where the bug is going from one part of the stem to another creates such an interesting pose.

The flash used is a bit harsh and creates too much shine, both on the bug and the tomato in the backround. I might have cropped a bit of the left side out as well as focus on the branch is a bit distracting. Pretty good overall.
