Out on a Limb

Posted under Animals, Color, Critiqued

Out on a LimbThere are little critters out there the average person stays away form of swats when they get to near.  Creatures from a branch if life with infinite variety filling every niche of the face of the earth.  And yet humans, except for the entomologist, never really see.  They are aliens that we only think of a repulsive, but look again they are also fascinating.

Our little friend here was photographed in a moment of relaxation.  The photo-artist was able to hold the focus on the tiny subject and capture every detail.   The photographer has done a nice job of blurring the background which has smeller hews to the subject and the plant it is resting upon. 

If you draw a line from corner to corner on the square format you will see that the subject is on the center of the frame and the angle of its body is at forty five degrees. 

I would like to make two small suggestions.  In the lower left hand corner there is some dead plant material, this could be removed with a little cloning.  If some of the top and left hand back ground were cropped out the subject would be taken off center.
