Some shots I took with my 70-200 2.8, any critique of composition or processing appreciated! I shoot sports or landscape mostly, but thought I would try some floral and insect shots.

I just learned to appreciate how fast their wings flap, because at over 1/1500 of a second, they are still a blur.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I love composition on all of the shots clap.gif But one thing i noticed, they all a little "hot". I would tone it down just a tiny bit!

    I do need to work on USM techniques, as well as saturation, most likely my laptop needs calibrated a bit.

    Here is one that was easier to work with, so looks less "hot". Enjoy!
