BUGGED BY THE 20D !

What's really bugging me is that I don't know what this thing is.
Some sort of tiny beetle or a mite, I would guess.

Nice. You should post it to http://bugguide.net/ and ask for an ID.

Superb, Bret!! Great composition, exposure and very sharp image!
The Big Guys, NG and other well respected magazines need to see your
portfolio.
As to the bug, I have no idea what kind of bug that is. Check out the
link by Mardon. Looks interesting.

Does that look sharp to you?
To me, it looks like a very blurry image that's had heavy sharpening
applied.
I still find it interesting though...
Bret seems to live in an area that is filled with strange mini critters...
Here in semi-arid southern Cal...things just don't get as colorful.

I think it's a great image; certainly no "heavy sharpening" invloved
IMHO. Macro has a very narrow DOF, so perhaps that's why parts of it
look blurry.

Dang thing make me itch just looking
at it.

Great job on the macro, Bret.

I don't believe any heavy sharpening was used. He used a Macro lens,
you can't expect corner to corner sharpness. It's still a great image.

There were tons of odd tiny critters to photograph in the Mojave. Maybe you
just need to look with a magnifying glass.
