    C'mon guys...what is the attraction with bbbugs, sorry about the stutter but I'm confused. They are ugly!
    While I appreciate the technical expertise needed to properly capture them...their still butt ugly.

    Hi Ken.

    The aphids and the green leaves on the right side of the bud are very white. You might want to tone them down if you can; otherwise, reduce those areas with a little bit less exposure next time you shoot a similar scene.

    You have done really well here Ken, especially getting 8 images with no obvious movement of the aphids. I can fully appreciate the difficulty in getting each side of the bud equally exposed and it looks within the limits of sorting in PP.
