Nice color, but the sharpest focus isn't on the blossom; it's on the
stuff above the blossom

Agreed. But maybe that was the intent. I can't identify the insect but it
makes an interesting composition.

 

I think a vertical orientation, to get rid of some of the blank space
to the left and right, along with moving the bug a little closer to
center and giving it a little breathing room at top, would help.

You mean the shield bug's eyes are in focus? Who woulda

The composition doesn't really do it justice.

 

I've got two shots of that one' the first one is focused on the blossom;
the second (posted here) finds the bug.

Still working on that.

Merge them in photoshop! I di that all the time; rock forward/backward
to focus & knock off a bunch of shots then glue them together if desired.

Honestly I didn't see the bug the first time, it looked like a leaf or
something at the smaller web size.

mouth off. ;-)

*Nobody* saw the bug when we were shooting (Three cameras).. I had to go
back and get it again when I saw a weird green thing that *could* have
been a bug in my first shot.
