I love all wonderful
nature macro shots on flickr, G+, 500px, and other sites. I just wish more
people would take the time to do some research and find out what it is they are
photographing and add this as a caption or comment. If you are really interested
in nature macro photography - surely the name of the species is important? You
can use bug and plant identification sights on the web or get some field
guides. I think the value of an image is lessened if the species name is not
listed, no matter the wow factor of the image itself. The worst offense is to
leave the image untitled. Really? You don't know what is generally? You can't
tell it is a butterfly, ant, or grasshopper. A general name is better than
nothing.
If you have tried to
identify and can't, say so. Ask for help. Give some details about the image -
where, how, when, what. Someone out there will know or have an idea about what
it is.
Take a chance on the
species name. If some one knows better and corrects you, Great! You learned
something.
Once again, in my
mind, the most spectacular image in the world is degraded if you don't know
what it is.
