Boss photos you've taken

Loving the Tilt-Shift technique...here's an example.

Night time photography reveals a few odds and sods, which whilst they are active in daylight, look different when the flash allows the background to blacken off thus keeping the focus more on the bugs and foliage on which they stand.

Here then are a couple of breeding froghoppers, Philaneus spumarius - yes they were attached to each other, peeping over the edge of a leaf. The odd thing was that I could only ever get one of them correctly focused at a time, even tough they were on what I thought was a similar focal plane. Bizarre.

Anyway, never mind. As a bonus, there is an extra critter bottom left - a nymph of some kind - maybe an aphid or something. Not sure.

Nice macro. Is the focus 'issue' to do with the 2.8 aperture being to narrow?
 
This is one of my favourite macro shots taken quite a few years ago with my old D50 & excellent Nikkor 60mm F/2.8 macro lens. The front of the tree stump is a little distracting, and I did boost the colour a little, but the bug is/was very, very green.
