Spotted this tiny beauty under the protective cover of the plants' leaves. The evening, setting sun gave it a unique golden highlight making it a very interesting subject

Nice image. Agree the evening glow looks nice. I think the head area is not covered in the depth of field. Did you try using a further narrower aperture? Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. Agree that a little more DoF would have been good.

How did you find it? I agree having more depth of field would have been better.

Was on a look out for treehoppers and Butterflies that when I stumbled upon it, Had some more frames with Higher DOF, but lighting was too ow, so with the flash I missed the Golden rim shine of the sun
