In reference to BM's post, I prefer the second one because the creature stands out a lot more from the sky with it's new colour palette. Maybe had the sky been a different colour the first one would have looked more organic.
Anywho, I've always had a hard time enjoying photography because I usually enjoy seeing brush strokes and other personal touches paintings, drawings and so on provide. However, I do think it's incredible when someone's able to capture a scene
just right with a camera. You know, things like lightning strikes in the distance or light painting like Crashpunk posted. Macros often fall into that category for me because I find it very difficult to properly photograph anything smaller than a mouse, and find it even more difficult to capture them at just the right moment.
This, I consider to be just the right moment.
This guy has many photographs of (mostly) insects coated in morning dew, and they're often looking right into the camera. I love being able to see how the water droplets warp the figures and the intense detail you couldn't see without the aid of a camera. It also makes for good reference material.
This is also a pretty cool shot.
