Little Jumper

[Nervine]

After my last macro shot I have been practicing more and believe that I am starting to pick it up the basics and with more practice believe I can take some really nice shots.

This was shot with a Sony A55+Sony 100mm Macro lens. Flash was an old Minolta 5400HS which I have recently obtained and this has helped immensely in composing my shots compared to the Yongnuo 560 I was previously using.

I have adjusted some colors and cropped a little tighter on this guy. I currently have two of these guys that I have been keeping inside and feed/give water to regularly. I was sitting at my desk completed some stuff for work and noticed him sitting on his stick watching me. So grabbed the camera and whilst he was posing for me.

I would appreciate any CC on the image as the only way I will continue to grow is to know what I am doing wrong/could do better. I believe could have done some more work in post however still new to PS.

Nice jumper! Good job on the sharpness and focus. I'd pimp up the contrast and colors just a little more . PS has some great tutorials!

Thanks for the feedback mate. Appreciate it and will need to watch videos later due to issues with iPad.
