You got to love these little critters. Nicely captured Ian, those red eyes are great.

Nice capture Ian, on a personal note, just needs a little more DOF for me, still a cracking shot of a species I've yet to tackle.

Just twigged on the title, very clever :biggrin:

On Maggie's farm perhaps? Sorry that's a Bob Dylan song. In Maggie's garden, perhaps?:biggrin: :wink:
Sharp where it counts, but like Andy I would prefer more DOF, still an excellent image though.

Nits covered for me, camouflage is amazing on these little creatures, sharp where it counts, really nice portrait shot. :toast:

Thanks for the replies :toast:


I would have liked more DOF but it was a balancing act between stutter speed ( as in none ) and DOF :frown:

Conditions were a tad windy :wavey:

A very nice macro shot. The depth of field doesnt worry me as you have enough sharp to give a good representation of the little critter.very common in France these and they say if you step on one they stink.
