Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Macro bug
Somewhat the opposite from my last image posted.
This is a common garden critter, the Harlequin bug, on a rose bud. Shot with Nikor 60mm macro lens and extension tube. Flash is my ever trusty Nisin hammer head style flash (none of this fancy auto everything hot shoe style for this old boy) set at just up from minimum manual output (can't remember just exact setting). 
Looks like a plague of harlequins there Mike! To me, the shot would be better with just the one beastie rather than having the distraction of his buddies crawling around in the background. The image also seems to be lacking in contrast a bit. Interested to hear what others think.

Yeah I agree re contrast, but the print and my on screen looks ok. Seems that when I upload to Flickr my images drop a bit in contrast.
Cool. Nonetheless, still a top shot.  Simon
