Heavily doctored Macro

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted May 16, 201146 views5 comments

Unknown bug taken back in March on the outside wall of our garage. The background was very spotted and distracting and I have cleaned it up significantly with an airbrush type tool in one of my programs. Question for David and anyone which would like to comment: Would it be out of place if I put this in "macro and close-up"? It seems more proper there. What are your thought's

Very cool image Charlie. I love the iridescent color in the wings. This type of an image would be great for the macro and close-up forum but it works here as well.

Charlie, the person to ask is the macro moderator. I think that still Mike. Looks good to me for macro.

Nice job. I do like the shimmer on the wings.
