Ditto

And to add to it, the sharpness is spectacular Sometimes macro shots seem a little soft, but this is just perfect and the water really adds Nice work JonK

This is a wonderful image! Love the bold colors and black background - nice crisp detail, too. A real winner. :thumbup:

 

[bogleric]

this shot is excellent, the composition, DOF, and sharness hits right on. The boldness and saturation of the colors really make this one come alive.

Great Job!

 

[spiralout]

Wow, that guy really pops right out atcha! The colors are gorgeous and the shot is a LOT sharper than I'm used to seeing with macros. I especially love the droplet of water on the ladybug's back. Killer job.

 

[JonK]

Terri, thanks for the nice comments. Jus check your monitor calibration mebbe 'coz the background is actually green.
Bogleric I'm glad you're gettin into it and thanks for that.
hey spiralout; the secret to the sharpness is in the tripod and the mirror lock-up. Thanks for he kind words. :thumbup:

Hahah, I knew that much! I've tried a few macros handheld... I already have pretty shaky hands, so putting extension tubes behind the lens just made it worse! Yeah, I figured you must've used mirror lock-up. For some STUPID reason Nikon decided the D70 didn't need that option. *sigh*
