Cool,Grace!
It's a fine-looking picture,my friend,colorful and attractive!
That Insect looks as though it might be a species related to an Ambush Bug,maybe even a true Ambush Bug itself, but I'm not that good of an amateur Entomologist to be certain about that!
It's a really 'Good Show' of a picture though! : D

    Omgoodness Sean! I think you're right! I think it is an ambush bug :) You must play an Entomologist on tv! Thank you for your nice comments and for identifying that bug. I appreciate it!

I think sunflowers are so pretty! I really like how you captured this sunflower! I like the blurred background so the flower pops out. Well focused, well framed! As always, a great job done by you! Thanks for sharing!

Nice photo! I like how you noticed something as simple as the petals being wavy. Shows that you pay attention to detail which is a great quality in an artist . I would have liked to be able to see the insect more up close. Good luck to you!

Comment from Charlie Newman


Your perspective, your point of view and your placement in the frame all work together to make this an excellent composition. Focus is very sharp showing the details of the flower, the bud and the insects very clearly. Colors are natural and true and show very well against the subdued background. More people need to view this. Well done!

I love sunflowers, they are so cheerful! I like the tilted stem and the placement of this flower in the frame, the bright yellow petals and brown / gold center is standing out very well from the soft green toned background, I like the wavy petals too, this is well focused, the image is sharp and clear, exposure is good and the colors and tones appear true, I like the inclusion of the little bud to the right. Well presented!

A beautifully composed image with outstanding colors. I love the sharp bud and the (unknown) insect in the middle of the flower. The colors are fantastic and the background really compliments the flower.

    Thank you! Sean has identified the bug as an ambush bug, which I think is correct :)
