Genting Goes Green - Flora & Fauna Competition - battle have began
- shooting this with natural light and the fly in the picture add some point for me to choose it to be final submission
- i like the soft light for this
Genting Goes Green - Flora & Fauna Competition - this is my lunch
- this guy is small while I shoot it ~3-4:1
- love this as it looking at my camera and i have the victim focus as well here
Genting Goes Green - Flora & Fauna Competition - landing
- spend my time to learn how this guy land on each dry leaf
- after spend few try this is the outcome but too bad some part of the wing got crop
- some how I like this shot very much
Genting Goes Green - Flora & Fauna Competition - symbol of "love"
- shoot this using burst mode + Natural light + handheld
- ~30 pictures shoot only 3 focus well

I don't know the rules but being sponsored by Genting, I guess they will need some commercial values.
While the shots are nice, it doesn't do anything for Genting. And a close-up shot of a robberfly may not be the picture everyone wants to see :)
agree commercial value :D
should I shoot fern leaf instead ? (am asking myslf)
what nick mentioned is very true. there's no element of Genting that can be identified in any of those shots. I believe that a shot that incorporates the nature with Genting landmark or icon would stand a better chance. Example, a fern leaf (since you asked yourself :P) with a theme park background would carry the Genting element stands a better chance. Or, a bird on a Genting signboard.. ;)
LM agree but we need to move the logo into the awana trek :D which is the place for us to shoot
Be creative, Liew. You don't need to bring that big Genting logo or signboard. U can just use a printout of the logo, or even use a keychain of that Genting logo. Plenty of alternatives :)
LM u r good .. and it is just something they might look for :D
but i need really small logo :D
Do you have snap shot of the winning picture? would love to see that too, if you managed to go to genting though.
Joes, I didn't :(
