No flash was used. Camera was on tripod with remote release and raised mirror. Canon 50D, Canon 100mm macro, ISO 100, f/25 for 5 secs.

Wow, the insect stayed still for 5 secs exposure - lucky !
Might increase the contrast & colour saturation on the insect a wee bit.

I agree...take up the contrast and give it a good round of sharpening. It is nicely composed but it has a soft feel overall.

[Ed Vatza]

I have to agree. the insect looks flat to me.
