Interesting how incredibly narrow the dof is even at only f4.

The wet look! Luminescent loveliness.

Really like this image, with the focus on the bug, and of course the great reflections.

Great leverage with the Laowa.

Nice reds with that bonus of a red flare.

I like the composition and the shininess of the climbing frame framing the low sun.

The v shaped diagonals work very well here, and my eyes are also drawn to the cactus on the crest. Perfect exposure!

That light is beautiful, so crisp so clear.

I really should explore these opportunities more. Thanks for describing the technique.

Still tempting! Don't see these all that often; and don't recall ever seeing a caramel (?) or chocolate (?) version.
