flag footed friend

Not sure what to do with this guy, it was taken with a point and shoot in macro mode. I

love the image, but am not sure what to do to make it better.

Kristin... Hmmm, perhaps a slight crop from the left, just at the end of the midrib of the leaf. But it's great as is... Mike

 

 

Remarkable!

Interesting Creature!...... nice capture!

Interesting little guy, and an impressive shot. I like the bit of reflection on the leaf, and you got a good depth of field. Only one tiny thing I'd change- there's a white spot on the leaf above his left antenna that distracts my view. As mentioned above you could try some different crops- maybe a bit from the top and from the right? But that will be a matter of your own opinion. Overall nice image. Regards, Deborah.

Superb Macro, good DOF. Well done Kristin.

What a perfect macro subject, interesting and with the four front legs and face in nearly the same plane of focus.  My main advice to improve the photo would be to crop it down because there's a lot of empty space.  On one hand it's nice to see the whole leaf and especially the in-focus portion in the upper left, but the subject is striking enough on its own and would look better as a larger portion of the photograph.  I'd try starting your crop box in the upper left corner just below the leaf edge, drawing it across almost to the dark area in the upper right, and then straight down.  The result is more square-shaped, but your subject is facing into the frame and there's less open space.  Nice shot!
