Lovely colors , lighting and composition. The only little downside is the blade of grass appearing almost unobtrusively in the foreground. Beautiful result anyway and I hope you have a many more flowers like this in your bag to share with us ! I love orchids, I could event stop shooting bugs when I ...

Thank you Mitch !

Rik thank you for your welcome message ! I agree with you, I can't find the uglyness in this fly !

Thank you for your comment Mark !

This dragonfly is really graceful and the picture you made of it is superb!

A picture of the same springtail at wake up :

Great idea and beautiful pictures ! thank you for sharing!

Congratulations, You made beautiful and original shots with a very common subject. The # 2 is my fav.
