Description

[best viewed full sized] Hello my friends This pic was taken early one morning last week by the pond in my garden. I have used two differently exposed captures of the same RAW file to be able to darken the background clutter and show off the dew drops and aphid a little better. Comments and critique are more than welcomed and valued. Carl.

Whoa!!!! A plethora of eye candy for us in this one photo! I agree with babuci, there is too much amazement here to pick what is best, Without the aphid this would still be an awesome shot,..without the water drops, this would still be an awesome shot!! What an incredible 1-2 punch you've captured and shared with us, honestly a masterful shot!!!

Amazing... f29? Man, these settings blow my mind. I am going to buy a D-SLR soon and I have to say, I find the lenses confusing. But the learning is what it is all about.
