About The outline of these grass seeds, camouflaged by dewdrops, are remarkably similar to a mantid in outline.

Used the 105mm Micro Nikkor with the Panagor Macro converter. 3:1 mag. ratio, no cropping and slight adjustment in brightness and contrast.

Hi Humphrey, your comment is appreciated! I went to the webshots site but could not find any photos under your name - did you use another name according to which I can search? Glad to see that you registered at UF, although no site is perfect there are some really great image posted here while certain authors really take time to give honest and thorough comments. The trick is to find those guys! Regards.

Another jewel in your photographic crown, Joggie!!! Interesting that you got clear blue sky reflections in contrast to the olive background - nice contrasting colours! You handled the focus and depth of field so well.

Hi Dave - at a magnification ratio of 3:1 the DoF here is about 2mm and the background is totally blurred - no PS processing in this regard. Thhanks for your valuable comments!

Beautiful detail and clarity, Joggie. I like the reflections of the sky in the water drops. A perfect, smooth Bokeh and nice presentation add to the beauty.:)
