Common Daisy with Bonus Bug...
May 19, 2014 16:16:05 #
Hi Folks, I've gone from birds to bugs I guess. While out servicing our RV for an upcoming trip, I noticed a field nearby full of daisies. They were everywhere and my photographic mind began to flow. I wanted a nice daisy shot and to my surprise...this one has an old nasty bug on it.

Nice shot, James. The bug probably thought he found a quiet place to rest. Then he looked up and saw a giant eye peering down at him. Imagine the story he had to tell when he got home.:D

The bug on the Daisy is a Soldier Beetle I think....

Personally, I like bugs in my flower photos. This is a neat photo! I do think you should jave cropped it tighter. Too much negative space on the right.

Yeah, I didn't compose to well on this one. Wasn't thinking, but shooting instead. Shooting in 16:9 means you have a wider field to keep track of. I was really lazy on this shot. Just shoved the camera towards the flowers and shot. I'll crop it and see how it looks. Thanks a lot Tom.

Damn Tom...I started cropping the photo and the darned bug turned around and started towards me. I had to quickly close Photoshop. Now I'm afraid I have bugs in my program :-D

Well that's good to know. I've got more photos to work on...I'll just avoid this one.

You have to understand that I was suppose to be an astronaut. I know this only because all the way through my schooling my teachers told me that all I did was take up space. But there was no way I would go in a space shuttle. Do you know why? Too many bugs. Unfortunately, I was proven right.Well that's good to know.
