Hi guys...I generally hate bugs. Especially big ones...but, I like taking pictures of all sorts of stuff, so I had to shoot this little guy when I saw him on a hike today.

The lens was less than suitable for the subject (16-35L II on a full frame), so I had to get in really close. However, I was kind of impressed with how well the UWA handled it...decent bokeh and with the 5D2's high MP count, I was able to crop and still have a fairly large file left. Anyhoo...here it is!

Hope you guys like it

Cheers,
Tamas
