I am sure they were feasting on your Okra, Smitha!
What a rich wealth of wild life you have right there in your vegetable garden!
These bugs are extremely colourful creatures.
The one in focus looks just beautiful with those truly rich colours on it.
Peter, by being a bugs expert, is certainly going to be very happy with this fantastic dedication to him.
TFS this great shot.

This is amazing shot and wonderful shot. Superb sharpness. I am not sure whether you had to bend down to take the shot as the view suggest you did. Super focus. Ganesh soon smiley

Hi Smitha,
You could have gone little closer to this bug for better magnification. Also f8 would have given better BG and FG. the bug showing its back is distracting. otherwise, ok.

Hi Smitha,

Apologies for not coming past or a while I see I have some catching up to do, this is wonderful what an amazing macro, I really like how you've isolated the one on the left with the narrow d.o.f, stunning colours and detail, really lovely work well done, t.f.s

Cheers Rick :)

Smitha, I've not told you this in the past, if people want to tech you or help you improve, it cannot be done with a cane or a frown, learning is a fun activity, and smiles are an essential fundamental of the same.And coming from a family of generations of teachers, I should know!;)
This is a lovely dedication, sis, and I love the way you've composed it, the one on the right being very sharply in focus and as the eye moves from there to the left, the image softens, the corollary would be equally true, as well...
Simply put, a superb shot!
Cheers!

This is a beautiful picture. I really like the low POV and the selective, but perfect focus on that one colorful individual. Excellent notes as well.

Smitha,
Absolutely great capture, I love the color of this little creature. So beautiful, in such a small world that we don't really see unless paying close attention. Thanks for sharing this.

Hello Smitha,
A superb macro of this Assasin Bug with its friends in the BG. The one you have focused on is tack sharp and taken from a fine POV that shows its features well against the OOF natural BG in a pleasing composition.
TFS this beauty,

Hi Smitha.
What a nice subject of the shot. I like it a lot. Amazing scene and great composition of the image. I hope these are very small creatures. Details and sharpness of the last of them is stunning as well as fine rich colours of the image and perfectly blurred impressive BG. My kind regards and TFS.

Hello Smitha,
thank you for this nice and kind dedication. My response is late because in the last weeks my visits to TN
are rare and often short.
Here, you present a brilliantly coloured bug. The specimen to the right is shown with high sharpness
and clarity. Nice to see it cleaning its mouthparts with the legs. I also like your workshop picture ...
and I must say even a little more.
Best wishes, Peter
