I was playing around with a 24 mm Tilt-shift lens on a 1.4X extender

and EF12 spacer when I ran into two ladybugs mating, the fly,

amazingly, flew in and posed while the 10 second timer was running,

she flew away immediately.

No flash and camera on a tripod...

I don't find the tight crop particularly bothersome, but the weird reflection on the tile behind your face does look weird.

Excelent pose, by the way!

Shooting an interesting spider (that I will upload shortly) I ran

into this little fellow who obliged with a nice pose.

Comments & Critiques are most welcome!

Excelent shot, I would straighten the horizon in photoshop, looks somewhat crooked.

Ignacio

Very nice image, killer sky!

Ignacio

Made me smile!

Hi,

Cropping seems a little bit odd. The cyanotipe look is interesting.

Ignacio

Mario,

I'm sure you mean balloons, not globes, and yes it is a very interesting image.

Ignacio

Another take of the "Dumb Bitch" series.

Comments & Critiques are most welcome!

Amazing shot, I can't even start to imagine how you captured something like this.

BTW I NEED to get me a 1D MkIII!!!!

Ignacio

I can't believe I got a photo in the Top-photo gallery of digital alterations with all of 10 minutes worth of Photoshop!

Thanks again guys, I really apreciate your ratings and support. I need to have the final photo ready in a couple of weeks, I hope that one does as well as this one on the ratings.

Ignacio

Part of a Photoshop Class, I will try to use them in different

settings... Will they work or not?

The softness does look intentional, it'd be tough for a newbie to miss focus with such a professional looking model and lighting.

Ignacio

The focused spot behind the goo begs for a model or some recognizeable feature.

Have you tried lighting the goo from behind? That should bring out a little bit more texture.

Cool shot as it is!

Ignacio

Hi!

I liked "E pluribus unum" better...

Still a pretty cool macro shot!

Ignacio

Caught the mood pretty well!

Ignacio

One of this days I'll have to leave my macro lens behind and shoot insects with a longer lens. Great shot Debra, congratulations!

Ignacio

Beautiful animal, great shot!

Ignacio

Pansa,

I would probably like to see this shot about 1/3 of a stop brighter. More info without loosing the mood.

Still a great shot, I gave it 5/6.

Finally, in my opinion this is a landscape shot, not a "fine art" shoot. It puts me off to see people calling their own work "fine art".

Ignacio

Fun angle Adrian, thanks for your rating!

Ignacio

Could you bring shadows up a notch? The image is spectacular, but I find the pitch black areas a little bit disturbing.

Still I would give it a 6/6, the reflection on the water works spectacularly.
