Boy, I really like this, Carlo! I wish there were a bit more definition to his surroundings but you sure nailed that insect! I also wonder if a bit of contrast adjustment (bringing up the whites a bit more) might make this have a little more pop to it. Really nice effect overall!

Very cool & unique composition, Carlo, and great pose too. Love the abstract quality to this, but agree with Jules, that just a tiny bit more detail in surroundings would make it perfect.

Hi Carlo. Usually I like images with more DOF, but the shallow depth works well in this case. Nice light, good sharpness, and I like the ROT comp. Well done!

thanks everyone for comments and suggestion
complete agreement for the contrast. I have already arranged the photo with more contrast

Hey Carlo, even though the DOF is less than ideal, I really like this a lot! The bug poking out of the soft BG is very dream like. Increasing the contrast has already been mentioned but you might also try to slightly lighten the BG above the bug's head. This comp looks good but I think you could also get a nice vertical out of this one. Nice work! :S3:
