Bug and flower in the field

The quality I see here is truly amazing and intimidating. So I included these to help lower the standard.
I spend a fair amount of time in the field with non-photographers who have no patience with waiting for me. I have to snap and run. It took these hand held. Both were made of 2 or 3 images that I cobbled together in Photoshop Elements. Not true stacking.
Olympus E-520 (4/3 sensor) & 70-300 zoom lens with Raynox M-150 add-on lens, ProMaster Macrolume TTL Dedicated Ring Light. ISO 400 1/180-sec at f/16

I like the shot of the trichostema. I love names of plants that are descriptive. Hairy stem, narrow long pointed leaves. How clear can it be.

No need to be intimidated Kim, you have a good eye and help maintain our high standards. I too like the flower shot though I find it hard to imagine it could fell a Tyrannosaurus.

Hi Kim, I would have cropped it tighter, the beautiful color of the plant needs to dominate the image. just my opinion.I made some changes to clean up problems I saw on the image after I uploaded it.
