This little guy was hanging around the front door. I touched my camera down on the stucco to steady it and clicked a few shots.

Sharpened a little, cropped and adjusted tones (highlight and shadow) and tried to bring out the colors without looking unnatural.
Most P&S cameras seem to do very well with macro shots such as this.

Great macro. I like how you got right in his face!

He looks really cute - just as long as I don't have to touch him. How small is he?

Wish I could get a macro of a bug anywhere near this good - with ANY camera.

This is awesome. I really love the green in this little guy. Love the detail.

Bugs are so interesting & it's so much more fun to examine the details in a photo than in real life. I can't help but admire the perfectly artistic DOF on this, excellent color. All it lacks is snappier contrast.

My first impression was -- GREAT, I love the detail and DOF and the bug itself. Then I thought I'd like to see it better. I agree with Bassbone, a bit of brightening would help.

better to smell than to see

these little guys are so cool - they do such a good job of hiding among the leaves

a bit of brightening might be in order here - it seems a tad underexposed and then we could really see those googly eyes

Agree. Especially like how your DOF brings out that triangular plane (very like a skate [fish])culminating in its pointy nose, and how it has a meek doglike expression.

Great shot, the sharpness, dof and colours are all excellent

I enjoyed just looking at this shot for a while, and sorting out the details of the bug's shape and colors. The area in focus and DOF are exactly right, as are the exposure and the even light with your S&H adjustments.
