Contemplating the flames beyond!


	Contemplating the flames beyond! 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. Ronald F. Fischer

Excellent macro work. It would have been just another pretty flower without that fascinating bug, and the title doesn't hurt either. ;)

Spectacular closeup image with such a vivid shade of red/orange. It truly does look like fire and the bug is picking his way through the it. This is super, Ronald...
