It’s the time of year when I like to walk through the prairie early in the morning looking for critters. The sun is just coming up, it’s cool and there is dew on the prairie plants and critters. As you walk along you think there are no critters around but you get down to ground level it amazing what you will find just coming out of their morning grogs.

Phil, this is a really cool image! You have three elements working here (the leaves, flower and bug) and they are all united by their dewy environment. Great job handling the DOF and BG while keeping the dew droplets on the left and right in focus! Very cool indeed!
