sunshine and rain

One of the few macros I felt I "understood" while photographing.

(Normally I am just hoping something is in focus.) A kind of Zen like

experience where you are focused so much on what you're doing, what is

happening at the moment, that it all seems like one thing and somehow

makes sense. A feeling not unlike I get get when I sometimes grasp

the haiku: The old pond;

A frog jumps in -

The sound of water.

Comments and critique appreciated.

I like this macro, and the yellow background. The framework you have used  highlights the picture in artistic way.

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Richard,

Thanks for visiting and kind comments.  I agree with the "tightness".  Macros have made me want to get closer and closer.

Rosario,

Many thanks.  Most encouraging. (I am still swooning over your "In the Hammock")

Hi Wayne,

  Wonderful macro with beautiful details & colors.  Take care, Patsy

Great macro and bokeh with nice warm colours. Well done work, Wayne!

Patsy,

Thanks.  Much appreciated.

Anabela,

Thanks.  Shooting macros, seems like a kind of meditation.

A really beautiful result with impressive lighting, details en colors, Wayne!

Ruud,

Many thanks.  Trying to attend to the details like you.

Incredible detail of the bee.  The saturation of yellow from the flower works extremely well.  I am not sure I am a fan of the block box boarder but the image is great.

Randy,

Thanks.  I have mixed feelings about frames too.  But the painter in me often wants to constrain an image. 

Me parece una foto extraordinaria.  Te felicito

Manuel,

Muchas gracias. Que esta criatura me dio esta oportunidad extraordinaria.

Many thanks.  Extraordinary that this creature gave me this opportunity.

I'm so sorry I missed this one Wayne, excellent detail!! Very nicely presented!
