 Photographer’s Notes
Sipping my morning coffee, I spied a bug on the window against our traditional Pacific Northwest (USA) sky. Thought it would make an interesting study in contrast. So, here it is.

Okay, I confess. The bug wasn't really on my lens, it was in a window. I used my macro lens from a distance of about 15 inches. The title just seemed to work. Sorry for the deception. And thanks for the comments.

I don't care for insects, but it's a nice contrasting photo. Good clarity on the wings too.

Crazy image. Too be that close and still be in focus? What kind of lense do you have?

Nice title and good macro shot. I really like the light through the wings. 8.
