    Re: Solitary Confinement

    i think it would be better with out the bug, or closer on the bug. although a bigger print might help to. i like the composition of just the flower though. it shows the curley yellow do dads very well and allows you to see the white petals.

    Re: Solitary Confinement

    What caught my eye was this tiny lady bug deep inside this huge bloom, all alone. Solitary, if not confined by the spikes within the bloom. So, I intentionally did not go too close but close enough to capture that concept.

    I understand your point though and appreicate the comments. Makes perfect sense.

    Thanks very much for taking the time to comment.

    Re: Solitary Confinement

    thats the problem, and it might just help to have a big print. but i don't think its a lady bug, but can't tell what it is. or maybe just waited until it's back was facing the camera better so it appears more obviously a bug.

    but i understand the concept and like it alot.

    I'll give the bigger print a try and see how that changes things. Good suggestion.

    Thanks again.

    Re: Solitary Confinement

    I like the concept and the square crop of the flower is good. I wish that the bug was not so centered and the body posture perhaps may have been better. Hope not to sound like a critique forum

    keep 'em coming.

    Loupey/Paulnj:

    Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it very much. I don't know one bug from another so I will take your word on the lady bug. If it isn't a house fly or a daddy long legs, it is beyond me.
