 This is my first attempt at macro photography. I have to say it’s a lot harder then I thought it would be. Shot this bug at 2 ½ life size. I was always fascinated with bugs when I was a kid now looking at them thru a macro lenses even makes them more fascinating.

Too many depth of field problems distracting from the subject.

Unfortuneately not crisp enough to be effective.

what a cool picture and great colors too bad it is out of focus
 11/05/2004 08:06:09 AM
looks like a bizarre nature candidate - unfortunately very little focus depth
 11/05/2004 03:30:45 AM
Poor focus and clarity. Good colors and interesting subject.
 11/04/2004 06:23:30 PM
Out of focus?
 11/04/2004 11:41:06 AM
BLURRY

verry bad focus here.
 11/04/2004 02:49:26 AM
Focus is off, DOF is good.
 11/03/2004 09:13:16 PM
somewhat out of focus.
 11/03/2004 04:06:45 PM
The colors here are phenomenal! The neons purples and yellows and theh green--just marvelous...and what an interesting subject matter! I just wish it had been more in focus.

I think this shot could have been really interesting. Keep the foreground and background blurred ... but it definitely needs to be much sharper on the bug itself.
11/03/2004 12:29:56 PM
it's just too blurry. a faster shutter speed helps when you are taking macros :)
if it were sharper, ZI'm sure it would be a great photo
 11/03/2004 09:01:18 AM
The colors are very nice, but it appears to be a little out of focus. That's something that's giving me some problems, too. Here's hoping we can both improve in that area. :)
 11/03/2004 03:08:25 AM
This is out of focus... I can make out what looks like an eye, and some legs.
 11/03/2004 01:36:06 AM
Just oof, shame he looks great!
 11/02/2004 06:45:32 PM
Cool subject and a great idea, but the fact that it's so far out of focus is going to hurt in the voting.
 11/02/2004 06:07:45 PM
Is this underwater? It looks a little out of focus on the subject.
 11/02/2004 03:38:22 PM
Too bad this is blurry. Nice colors.
 11/02/2004 12:50:15 AM
out of focus
 11/01/2004 10:18:36 PM
Great subject. Just a little out of focus tho
 11/01/2004 07:17:14 PM
too out of focus for a macro of this nature IMO.
 11/01/2004 11:55:51 AM
It looks a bit out of focus or it could be motion blur. What kind of critter is this?
 11/01/2004 03:52:20 AM
Focus is a bit soft for a macro.
 10/31/2004 07:53:36 PM
colorful and perhaps interesting, but not in focus
 10/31/2004 07:43:21 PM
4. Subject is soft and out of focus. Can't really tell what it is.
