[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A couple of Aphids i unfortunately found on a pod
of my broom shrub (Cytisus) on the balcony this
afternoon.

Macro was taken with a Soligor 20 mm Extension tube.

Did the usual PS edit like shadows/highlight, noise
reduction and sharpen.

Excellent details, lighting and POV,and title, thank you for sharing this wonderful posting, Thorsten, and a belated welcome to TN!

Wspania³a jako¶æ, doskonale widoczne detale i dobra kompozycja.

Nice one Thorsten a very clear image of the pod and aphids, A small nit it would of been nice to see the end of the pod too and a little bit of clear space at the bottom.

Great macro Thorsten, Excellent DOF, details and sharpness with an artistic flair..I like your title also. My pod is my castle as well...did I say pod?
I meant to say "pad" ;-)) Well done!

Jolie macro de pucerons Thorsten, bien mise en valeur avec le contre jour des poils de la gousse de pois. Félicitations Didier.

Well done Thorsten - this shot of the aphids is very good. Very good macro shot and great details and colours. well done.

Aphids are usually such a pain but here you have really captured their beauty further enhansed by the tiny hairs on the pod. Great photo

Unfortunately? Eh? I don't think so! They look fantastic. Well, OK, vielleicht nicht so toll für die Pflanze.

But the compostion is great!

Hallo Thorsten,
sehr interessantes, hoch ästhetisches Makro.
Hervorragende Schärfe, elegante Komposition.
Höchst ungewöhnliches Gruppenfoto auf formvollendeter Ginsterschote.
Völlig neuer Blick auf unsere alltäglichen Blattläuse,
die hier zu Naturschönheiten werden.
Sehr guter, vor allem auch origineller Beitrag.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter
