Very nice image, Stuart. Great clarity, DOF and BG. Very steady hand at that FL and SS, i must say! TFS.

Stuart, great clarity on the DF from head to tail - not an easy feat! Two suggestions - it feels a little over exposed to me - maybe bump the high and mid tones down a notch. Also, nice that you got the one eye looking at us but comp would have been stronger with a front view compared to this side view. Still, very strong image for details.

Hey Stu, good details, color, and BG. I also like the perch and the positioning.

Good looking insect and love the overall detail !!! Like how you kept it parallel to the film plane for managing the dof !!! Excellent !!!
