Lorenzo - that was probably the quickest "upload to favorite" usefilm experience for me - 5 minutes?
Glad you enjoy the shot. It's a semi, rule of thirds composition with some really nice geometry. I took about 300 shots and this was one of the better ones.

Hi Michael! Great colour and great play with the dof. Excellent captured of the beetle and the bright colour background really make it stand out. Good work!

Michael, you have some great stuff here in your portfolio and I hope I'm not going to hurt your feelings but your color seems to be really off on a lot of your pics. Way too much yellow. Have you changed contrast and settings in the camera?

James:
No alteration, no correction - lots of yellow in these latest batches, and some yellow tones in the others.
These recent prints were all shot midafternoon in KS - definitely going to be yellow, even with the white point set for bright sunlight.
Even on the calibrated monitor I could see the yellows, but set to a flat white point a lot of them were boring and lacked some warmth of summer.
If you look at the winter shots you will see more blue and purple casts, I think I tend to change my tones with the seasons. Probably not to everyone's liking.

No feelings to hurt... keep on posting critical suggestions. I just calibrated the monitor recently, but I can go through and do it again...

Another great macro of yours Michael, I've read your article about the rule of thirds which was fantastic! Regarding the colors, I agree that there's extra yellow, but it doesn't look like a cast on my monitor, the greens are natural.
