 Even though this guy had no problems holding still, it was really tough to even get him in focus with the shallow DOF, wind, and mosquitoes.

Very nice DOF on this, and you did a great job on exposure considering the light conditions. Spot metered?

Don't know what this is with this guys. Are they special DPC models? Can you hire them? Never seen them (alive) in my whole live.

Note: wonderful photo. I like the colors. Perhaps the light on the bottom is a little distracting.

This is gorgeous. Wonderful angle for the composition and great bokeh. These guys really are the most photogenic bugs!

The low angle, and shallow DOF are just right to accent the foreleg and head in this shot. I like the one antenna in motion, like a little eyebrow wave.
