 Taken with the Canon 420EX SpeedLite flash. I was just sitting in my room when I noticed a bug had got in somehow. Naturally, my first instinct was to grab the camera, rather than do anything about it ;o) After I'd got some "insurance" shots, I trapped it in a glass and got my macro lens out, and started snapping away. This shot was my fave of the lot, as the little cricket wouldn't keep still for more than a second, and this shot conveys my frustration about getting it in frame! :o)

The original was cropped, rotated, colour balanced, focused, and double bordered. Sometimes we don't need to use all the Advanced rules options ;o)

I like the white background and composition. I know these shots are hard, but the left leg's out of focusness draws my eye right to it.

Good detail and clarity on this shot. Composition is interesting. Lighting looks good and I love the angle from underneath.

Wow! Is that a roach? I love the composition and the details on its 'hairy legs'! The depth of field is great and I like the neutral background! I don't know if I like the frame though? It almost seems like you would want the bug to hide behind the 'page'...and the frame reminds me that its a photo...

Very well done!
