Challenge: Insects II (Minimal Editing I*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
Location: Enfield
Date: Apr 14, 2007
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/3000
Galleries: Nature, Macro
Date Uploaded: Apr 15, 2007

 Taken with a 250D close-up lens. I had forgotten that I was on shutter priority and my DOF is too narrow, but it's just about OK and it helped to lose the bg somewhat. A bit slower would have been better.

Underexposed to get the best out of PS's Save-for-Web feature.

great colours! I think boosting the green would help with contrasting the colours

Interesting looking bugs, have no idea what they are. Nice colours, good DOF. Seems a little bit dull.
