@juliedduncan @luvmynynix @jeanbelleisle @grammyn @calm @danette @mzzhope @taffy @chrissieh @jodimuli @rvwalker @riverlandphotos @jaynspain @houdiniem @timandelke @darrenboyj @squamloon Many thanks all. Yesterday was a crazy day and I was lucky to even get a shot in the low light, cloudy, late part of day. I'm going to have to explore pine needles and bugs more often because they naturally provide a wonderfully abstract background with an intriguing subject like a bug. And I can play with angles a bunch. I did get some of its gossamer wings too, but focus with macro clip was problematic.

Amazing, well spotted and shot.

[Arefin]

@wind_of_the_sothern_sea @jo13 Thanks!

[Dawn Reilly]

I am really enjoying all your mono shots!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@sunshinephoto5 Thanks Dawn. I've been making myself use the mono setting, so no color option, well, unless I paint it myself, which I did this week with my "Monday Mum" shot for the ETSOOI challenge. I really love working in this setting. My camera eye is much better tuned as a result.

[Catherine Pace]

[Luretta]

Wow!! Look at you and all the fabulous Monochrome shots! Fav for me!
