    Wow, ScreaminScott...

    That is an absolutely fantastic photograph... perfect subject sharpness and very nice background bokeh. Thanks for sharing.

    My only little "nitpick" would be that the tip of one of the bug's legs is "chopped off", but no huge deal about it, excellent work. :thumbsup:

    By the way, welcome to the (coolest ) forum here at PR – N&W!

    Re: Eastern Boxelder

    That's about as good a macro as I've seen, with very wide DOF. Shallow DOF is the biggest problem with macro, so I'm wondering what camera and lens you used?

    I used a Nikon D70s coupled with a Lester A. Dine 105mm F2.8 manual focus macro lens. I also had an SB 600 speedlight for fill so as to stop down as much as possible
