Cadmium Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yes, I agree with Colin. This is quite a nice set, and I like the little insect on there also. Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks Col and Steve, You can tell the "bug" is alive and well as it appears in different positions on the three images. I always enjoy finding things like that when I look at the finished images. Sometimes I see ants pushing through the floral undergrowth shaking things up. We have ants everywhere down under, they are always attracted to nectar. I often wonder, if nectar is such a strong attractant for insects, why we worry about the effect or otherwise of the UV markings. Dave Link to comment
