Nice colors. The beetle looks like the robot "tripods" in the War of the Worlds

Hi,
Thanks for the compliments. This shot was taken with camera on the ground, no tripod. Need to lay down on the ground to look at the viewfinder. Actually thinking of buying angle finder and flash bracket to make this kinds of shot easier.

Shooting at this angle is not easy for this TB. It would nicer if the legs weren't cut-off, good attempt though
