A splendid macro Keith. It looks like that Zuiko is a cracker for this sort of stuff. A very interesting bug indeed -love the gold skin it carries. Well done. ~ Herb

Thanks Herb. The M.Zuiko 60mm is a superb quality dedicated macro lens - it takes a bit of getting used to, but when you get it right it's worth the effort.

AWWWWWESOME!!!! Keith, this is just so cool. Love the details of this fabulous macro. I am a HUGE fan of dock with it's lovely seeds and fun shapes to appreciate. I didn't know that it's got a bug all to itself...and what a handsome one too!

NICE job. Perfect angle, dof, composition and the lot! :)

Thanks for your wonderful comments about my critter pictures. They're such fun when I get good ones and are among my favorite shots since I love animals so much. I hope you get to see a bald eagle in the wild sometime, it's exhilarating to see these regal hunters!

I agree with you on the squirrels...as long as they aren't ground squirrels on my property, I adore them so much. I ask you: what could possibly be better than getting yelled at by a squirrel, who sits above you, its blubbery little body jiggling with every shriek of indignation, the beady eyes of utter disdain piercing your very soul. BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH, how I love them!! :D (Why haven't they figured out how to chuck acorns at us, bouncing them off our heads with an answering chitter of gleeful mirth?!) :D

They're amazing little things...........in a field full of dock, nearly every plant has it's own bug! Once you get your eye in, they're easy to spot!

Glad you like it Diane.
