I'm with the others. This is extremely nice, although I would crop a little off the top and the left to de-center the bug and to de-emphasize the shadows from the petals. great shot, though! Reply »

High res really shows off the details -- great image Reply »

A bit too bland, a little more color would have helped. Great detail clarity, though. Reply »

Reply:

Have to disagree completely with mossy, the lack of color gives it a nice minimalist feel, if there were color I think it would detract greatly from the overall image. Reply »

great shot Reply »

Reply:

I also like the lack of colour, it makes the guy stand out so much more against all the white. The colour would just distract you from the man Reply »

Reply:

I think if that guy wasn't in the picture it wouldn't be as appealing but he gives off such a great contrasting look that makes this stand out nicely. Reply »

I love this shot, great work =) Reply »

Hey he's cheatng and has a safety cable. I like the scale and the B/W, but would've liked to see it a tad off centered. Could be a poster for Circus de Soleil. Beautiful. Reply »

Personally, I think I would have put the yellow in the middle so it was enclosed by the two darker colors... but, then again, I didn't think to do it at all so who am I to question it? Very, VERY nice. Great job Reply »

This shot is the "cat's meow"....LOL, nicely done author. I just tried something like this, but the darn animal kept moving too much. Reply »

Reply:

Nice shot, you would never know it was HDR, which is half the magic. Reply »

Reply:

Wow, you must be quick with your camera. Nice work! Reply »

Reply:

Voted, great shot his nose almost pops out of the frame. very shallow DOF seems to work well for this shot. Curious, is this a one shot HDR? Reply »

Reply:

What kelvin said, is this a bracketed shot, or a single shot? Reply »

Reply:

well this is bracketed shot in raw, outdoor with good lighting and last not least 9fps
...i guess im lucky bcause this cat not a camera shy...thank you for all of your comments! Reply »

Reply:

Ok, 9fps - seriously fast Reply »
