The rain drops really add to the shot IMO.

Love that beetle, Orion! I'm curious what lens you used as well as what (if any) close-up filter/extension tube.

That last shot is awesome, Kurt! Also love the grasshopper in #1!

enjoyable, again. Love the "find it" thing it adds a entertainment to it as well as wonderful imaging.
