Thanks again John - yes, that does make sense. Seeing a 'photo' rather than a bug through the viewfinder is something I'm really bad at at the moment, but no doubt it'll develop if I work on it. I remember my son saying that when he got into photography, he pretty much saw the world as photos.
The way I look at it is this: Anyone can take a photo of an insect. But how many photographers can take a photo that people want to save as wallpaper, or hang on the wall? Taking any photo is easy, creating a image that invokes an emotional response in the viewer is tough.
Of course, it would help if I had much idea about how the background is going to come out, given the lighting conditions and the settings I need, but I'm not there yet!
In time you will be able to see it in your mind -something else that happens eventually when you do all of your framing with the view finder. I can look at a critter from a distance and see the 2x shot that I want to take, and I am not special.
