Strong light bug

This was taken around 11 am, the light was nearly overhead, but I liked the look of the strong light on the yellow plant with the mostly yellow bug.

The strong light makes this very dramatic and moody, John.

The strong lighting works well, John, because of your use of the shaded bg.

I like how you've toned down the BG. The shadows are perhaps a minor distraction, but the subject is excellent.
