Description

I keep getting drawn into playing with my image of a lone stink bug that landed on my balcony last summer... Here, obviously some cloning to
make a circle of 12 identical bugs, then cloning the circle and shrinking/rotating each copy. Finally,
Difference Clouds at Color Opacity, Saturation, plus selective layer masking to bring variable color to each bug.

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

This is extremely well done. I hope we see again. You should check out a book by Christopher Marley called Pheromone. It is filled with such insect designs. #9297516
