Hi Rob,

What an assembly, love the idea, most of us (me included) would have walked past and not given them a second thought... well done.

Focus appears to be slightly off, although hard to tell on a web sized image, but, the leaf seems sharp but the dorsal view of a number of the aphids seems to out of focus. still love the image and hey, I missed it...

Good to meet you today and look forward to meeting again when I spend some time back in my home county...

Phil

an interesting shot, strange how they're all pointing in the same direction. :smile: Focus looks about right to me, but not easy to tell on a low res image.

Something very different and an excellent idea. I have to agree with Phil about the focus but the composition and colour are great.

Really different shot but works well with the different colours of aphids. Wonder if cropping out the green BG to just leave the leaf would increase impact? :smile:
