Dean: I really like the subject and the comp and the color of the flower. The harsh light is a little tough for me, acknowledging that this is where these guys live. I have a large (42") diffuser that I carry around when shooting in these conditions. It can be a bit of a bear to handle in windy conditions but they come in smaller sizes as well. >=))>
