I had a little ah-ha moment today. When asking about pictures with focus problem so many of you said I should use single focus and I said I was. Then today I was reading about continuous focus and I wondered if I had that. Well yes I do and what I thought was single focus wasn't. So took a few pictures today using single focus. Happy with the result. But one thing I have to say about this picture is "ewee not nice bug - scary bug.."

Fantastic shot. Focus perfect, composition perfect, balance perfect; Bee and cricket. Excellent and a fav!

Wonderful!

@martinaardvaark It's a cricket oh, I thought grasshopper. I'm so good with bugs.

[Janiskay]

Much better! Sometimes it's just a matter of hearing what is said not what you think is being said. Great Focus! Your bug look to me like some type of grasshopper.

[Joan Robillard]

@janiskay I need @pjr to come tell us Pete's a bug expert. Probably @vignouse too! This bee photo bombed several of my pictures.

[Janiskay]

@joansmor bee was just hungry! so am I. Bye for now.

[Sue Hecker]

ew on the bug, but hurray on the focus! It's so exciting when things go right.

[Sharron Green]

Love this Joan-and your title! Great capture. Fav.

[Richard Sayer]

This is excellent Joan - see what you can do when you try! I would have lost the leaf at lower left and the shadowy detail at top right as they both distract the eye... but these are minor details. Nice Bugs, Lady!

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse What kind of bug?? Or do I need Pete. Thanks I failed to see that little leaf because I was so focused on the flower and bugs.

[Joan Robillard]

@atwinfay You are spoiling me with all these favs - Thanks.

[Kane Arlow]

Fantastic capture, great timing to get both of them on the flower at once.

[Robyn]

Great capture and clarity. Fav

[Shepherdman's Wife]

What a wonderful find and capture.

[Tammy Strebe]

Great macro!

[Kate]

Scary bug, cool picture! I am trying to sort out the focus options as well. Good luck!

[Joan Robillard]

@kt8ird Well read some of Richard @vignouse (my mentor), @jborrases and @janiskay(my sister) comments on my pictures they give wonderful advise.

[Rose]

Great capture !!!

[Leanne M Williams]

Oh this is perfect Joan, well done :-) FAV

[Doug]

Lovely capture

[Francoise]

everything everyone said plus like the grey background for the pink.

[Joan Robillard]

@francoise It's the plastic around a hothouse. lol

[Sharleen]

Sharing the wealth! I love bug photos (even though I'm not overly fond of bugs) and this is really a neat capture.

[Yolanda]

Beautiful close up

[Pete Roberts]

Hi Joan, great photo of the flower and the bumble bee and I would go with grasshopper. Really good capture fav for me too

[Joan Robillard]

@pjr Your my bug expert, I'm with you. Thanks

[Gena Pegg]

Gorgeous shot with a lovely bee and pretty bloom. Not so sure about the other bug, but cool that you got them both!

[Alison Roberts]

Brilliant capture Joan - great timing! You'll get to love bugs yet - especially if you keep taking macro shots!
