Sundew with capture

The flower looks good against the backdrop.  A personal preference, I think I would like this without the bugs.

Cool catch looking at what the sun dew does. Wonderful color and BG.  You might try lifting the shadows a bit more?

Thanks both
Ed -Tried your suggestion- not too successful I think.

John, nice job isolating a single sundew leaf and it's catch.  The colorful glint in the fly's wing is a fine extra.

Great idea to use that backdrop, John.  It works well to isolate the plant to illustrate those sticky "fingers."  I like that it does not look artificial, too.  (All my sundew shots seem to have complicated backgrounds, so this is a good lesson for me.)  The fresh fly with clean, glistening wings is a nice catch for you as well as the plant.  Most of the insects I see captured by these plants seem to be tiny, delicate critters that get all sticky, contorted and messy.

One with the shadows lifted

Getting an uncluttered sundew image is not so easy usually. Using a cloth as background is a good idea and here it looks quite natural. I like the colour shifting in the wing of the unlucky fly. Lots of detail. I prefer the original...
