[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Friends, thank you very much for responding to my previous post beyond my expectations.
It was my intention to share with you in lighter vein the trials and tribulations all of us photographers undergo some time or the other while doing nature photography.
I am happy I was able to evoke some smiles :-).

Today I am posting another picture from the same shoot inside Okhla Bird Park a few days back. I have already posted the picture of a mature Seed/Milkweed Bug which, along with numerous other species of insects, was having a feast on the Crown Flower plant.
This one, as I could gather from bugguide.com, is a Nymph of the same species, though I am also wondering who that little guy could be in its neighbourhood on the leaf.

The picture in the raw format turned out to be a bit soft, so I had to work hard on PS CS3 to make it presentable. Hope you like it.

The details about Seed/Milkweed Bug and the Crown Flower plant are given in the note with my previous post of this bug. Kindly have a look at it if you would like to have the information.

Thanks for looking and have a nice day.

Hello Ram Thakur,
indeed a very exciting macro work here. A very beautiful insect which you have shot in its natural environment. Great point of view to inform about the insect. Good positioning and nice green background that work out and pushe the subject out.

regards,
Foozi

Hello Sir,
A fine macro presented here in a beautiful composition. The details on the bug are highlighted quite well.They come in such wonderful sizes and colours dont they? I see two of its legs on one side are intertwined ...wonder whether it had difficulty moving ......also i can see a tiny one rushing towards it..GOod use of backlighting and the subject and the way you have got the leaf in the frame it look very fine indeed.
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers
P.S":I think it is high time i visited the Okhla bird sanctuary!:)

Hi Ram
Thanks for capturing and sharing this very colourful guy plus his friend. Nice composition and well framed.
Cheers
Sue

Hi Ram,

Wonderful macro shot of this Seed Bug Nymph, its becoming quite clear that you have some amazingly coloured bugs in Okhla Bird Park, the detail in this is excellent, love the long shadows created by the Nymph, perfect POV, all the best,

Cheers Rick :)

Hello Ram,
Another beautiful insect from the Okhla Bird Sanctuary. I am sure now that it's the eye that helps you find them. Coz all I found on my visit to the bird park were Lady birds and obviously the birds.
I am sure you will be putting on display more from your pitara from the bird park :)

Hello Sir Nice view and good shot. The top view actually gives a very good view of the insect bundled with good clarity and sharpness. Ganesh

Hello Ram
What a curious bug you captured!! It seems to be dress for a party. A really interesting species and good document.
Thank you very much for sharing.

A cute little nymph in a colorful outfit Ram, however for that small fry in the top middle it must be looking like a giant bug, well, this is relativity according to nature my friend!
