Description

shot this little LB on a door screen - unfortunately the macro picked up all the pollen and dust and dirt on the screen so I upped the constrast, darken the blacks and did tons of cloning to clean it up - lesson - clean screen more often:-)

a slpendid capture, Wendy! Now what would you rather do? Take photos, or clean insect screen? #2851968

Steve Mescha June 06, 2006
