My Yellowstone trip - Insect series (8img)

Hope the pictures from my trip have not bored you all.
C/C welcome. I've given it a try but feel free to correct the IDs.

Hi cfcRebel,

Sorry if I seem a bit harsh.

This is only my opinion and I am no expert.

Most of the shots don't do anything for me, they appear to be a bit soft
and some of them have cluttered backgrounds which is a bit distracting.

Now that I have got that out the way, I think shots 3, 7 and 8 are fantastic,
I particularly like the Paddle-tailed Darner in flight. AWESOME.

Well done

Stuart

Thanks for the C/C Stuart. I agree with the background. Sometimes it's hard to get a clean bg when the subject refused to perch on the flower i wanted them to. I'll see if i can sharpen the pictures more.

I am sorry, but I am unable to get the images to load.

I apologize. It happens to one of my computers too. One displays all images fine, but the other only 4 images comes out. The rest is "X". Both are using IE6 browser with SP2. Strange. I'll upload them to POTN. Stay tune.......

Being a Dedicated Bug Photographer, I love all of these, great work on them, I especially love the in-flight Dragonfly, tough shot, very well done.

Really nice shots cfcRebel, I like the first shot for its angle, the painted ladies shots for their color, and the dragonfly shots. Well done.

I really like 1,3,7 and 8 but they are all good.

Thanks BE, Dennis, Gary for the kind words. Glad you like them.

Amazing shots, Fee! There are too many great shots to choose from. Okay, maybe #8 is my fave.

Thanks Joe. That's my fav too.
