Nothing goes together like a bug and flower:
I was walking in the woods when I came across this wildflower and it’s bug companion. I thought it would make a good composition for this week’s photo challenge at WordPress.
I did not have my tripod with me, but I knew that I could use a fast shutter speed instead and come up with the image I wanted. I loved the yellow and green colors, but thought it would be best if the yellow was really in sharp focus and the green less so. An f-stop of 6.3 gave me the look I was going for. I put my ISO to 400 because of the shade. When I got this photo in Aperture, I cropped it a bit and also sharpened it a bit.
Cheers!
Flowers and pollinators – perfect companions!

I was so taken with the yellow popping on the photo, that at first I didn’t see the bug♥ I love how you made the green less of the focal point.

Thanks, it would have been a pretty easy bug to miss, in fact I am not quite sure why it caught my eye 🙂
