Info Unconventional close-up of a red-veined darter (Sympetrum fonscolombei). The high-contrast effect was obtained by the use of flash in a close macro shot, using a high F number. The highlights in the wings are reflexions from direct sunlight. No significant manipulations done in the digital darkroom except for normal cleaning up. Time for artsy photos!

Oppose due to DOF, but the colors are pretty good. Dori - Talk 03:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - At this distance (40cm) and with this aperture (F/20), DOF is a little less than 10mm, which is just enough to keep the head, legs nd thorax on focus. It is not possible to have a significantly larger dof. Alvesgaspar 11:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's probably true, but I still want the main subject to be in focus for FP unless the shallow DOF actually enhances the shot. Dori - Talk 14:17, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
