grandpawrichard,
When I first looked at this pic, I thought ok it is a Ladybug on a white flower. After a moment of looking at it, it started sinking in about the clarity of ALL of your pictures. Your pictures near, far or in between are always very nice to look at. You have become very proficient with your photography skills. I am sure that you have good equipment, but a person has to know how to use it also. Just because a fellow buys some tools, that does not make him a mechanic. Congratulations on the skill level that you have achieved. I sure would like to improve my photography skills over time.
