Contemplating the flames beyond! [Details & Macro Travel Photography and Places]
Uploaded: July 07, 2006 13:00:16
This little bug is contemplating what appears to be the fires beyond (caused by the shallow DOF and the color of the center of this flower). I am not sure what kind of bug this is, but it was pure silver in color, and about an eighth (1/8) of an inch in length. Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG macro; sunlight; hand held; cropped.
