Great detail as always, Jody! Love the BG color...it really compliments the insect!

I love these stereograms and this is a really cool one! Question: I assume the 24 frames are each for a different focal point, in order to get so much of the subject in focus, am I correct? And if so, your subject must remain absolutely still for all that refocussing....? Is there some special technique used to obtain all those slightly differently focussed frames? (Or do I have even a clue what I am talking about, lol!?) Very interesting work, anyhow, I've been enjoying these! On this, I wish the insect's sides would also have been focussed.
