Like the lighting on this. Colors are intensely rich.

Charles: Good capture. You could have got the entire feeler as there is enough room in the bottom of the picture. Nice as it is :toast:

Maybe so, Gary. But the basil would be squatter, the katydid closer to the center of the frame, and there'd be a lot of empty space at the top. None of which would be an improvement, in my opinion.
