This is handheld, so I am pleased that the back-button focus technique seems to have worked out ok. Plus, shooting against a white background tricks the camera into underexposing, so you have to bump up the exposure.

The colors are terrific, really show off the insect. Do you take a white background into the yard? I can never get a plain background in the yard except shooting up to the sky. Love the minimalist simplicity of this.
