Hey! Look! You've got company. :) You could have moved him over the Henk's place. He needs more things in his kitchen. :-P Looks like he's checking you out.

What a great find, and good timing to get a shot of it before it blew away. I'm fighting the "trade-off" the past couple of times out for this challenge myself. I agree with roz; this subject works well with a shallow DOF.

yep .. i know all about trade-offs .. but i dont usually mind when the subject is a bit shallow dof .. and bits are oof .. i think it adds to the beauty .. its more a creative than practical approach .. thats the best way i know how to express it .. hope you get the drift ...
anyway .. i really like how the little feather is hanging on .. for dear life ... lol .. to that blade of grass ..:)

AWWWW .. loved the story in the macro thread ..
i know aphids arent the greatest insects to have in your garden .. but i'm glad you escorted him outside ..
one more probably wont make any difference .. and he got to be a star here in dpc .. !! ..
btw .. i didnt know aphids had such pretty wings .. love that they are transparent .. a little bit like the mantis fly i entered in two recent challenges .. :)
