[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These Aphids on my balcony were hiding underneath a plant for the rain. I was able to catch this photo of them just after the rain ceased. The reflection and purple look has an almost surreal look.

One week later all the Aphids were eaten by a bunch of ladybug larvae. (More on those in future posts)

HI Mike.
I love your shot.
Great colours and the srop of water is great!
Great sharp focus and details.
:)

Amazing shot Mike!
It looks quite uninteresting on the thumbnail, but the full size photo really is exceptional.
Maybe it's not very clear, but whole has quite SF look, like a colony of some alien monsters. The water drop is superb bonus.
I like the photo very much.
WELL DONE & TFS

Hello Mike,
Very nice shot of this colony :-) The droplet with reflection adds a nice accent to the shot. I would just try to sharpen this shot a bit, at least the part with aphids. I know there are so small it's very hard to get a nice detailed shot of them.
Best greetings,
Michal
