Seed Bug - 08-08-2011, 10:35 AM

Critique: NC:

This critter buzzed me on it way to a new perch. I was out trying to get a few flower shots, so I stopped that and focused (sorry for the pun ) on this critter.



Different critter - the previous one flew over to my neighbor's yard - did not like the flash

I like both of them John! That looks like a little leather flower in #2.

Very nicely done! Just wish you would not have cut off the foot on the first image.

Thanks for your comments Jim and Scott.

Jim, the flower in the second image is a pomegranate - you are seeing the fruit setting and the old flower.

Scott, I agree with you on the missing foot (the bug was not too cooperative in posing for me).

Think you have a seed bug here, John. Nice crisp shot, though.
