    The oof digaonal line (which is probably part of the insect) directly above and in line with the eyes competes for my attention. However, the sharpness and detail is awesome. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey Thomas, the head on this guy is wild looking. Good details and agree with Akos, on the OOF line.

    Thanks,guys!
    The OOF leg is nothing I can do about.Crane-flies are almost only tangled legs in every direction.
    I kind of like the order-in-chaos feel it gives.

    Thomas, that is one wild image! Great detail on this. Where was the bug located? Is he under a plant? I'm just wondering because the lighting is nice and diffused, even with flash being used.

    I think compositionally I'd consider cloning out the one diagonal line on the left of the frame simply because it's not apparent that it is a leg or antenna. And, if this were mine, I'd also remove the bud behind him as it's not in focus enough to add to the story for the viewer .

    Thanks Julie.
    It was resting on a leaf in a bush.It's the leafs surrounding the Crane-fly which makes
    the light soft.
    The bud you refer to is one of the wings,so it would look weird to remove it.
    And I agree about the left diagonal.The antennas are the two things stuck to it's forhead
    between the eyes.

    The colors and sharpness are outstanding, Thomas. The light is very pleasing considering that you used flash. Well done.
