Good looking insect, sharp and well exposed I like the smooth bg btw amzing sharpness for the slow shutter speed Not familiar with that tripod but will check it out !!!! btw all I could wish for was a more attractive perch but sure its a fine image I like it a lot !!!!
It's from a small but very highly regarded company in Germany, they produce very nice tripods out of ash wood - which is excellent at dampening any vibrations. I might add that I had them manufacture a version for me that has elongated legs, so that I have a larger working range (of about 0 - 50cm height) for my macro excursions...

Nice light, details and dof.
Hi Karl,
Agree with Al on this one and would just add that you may want to lighten the eye....just a bit if you are not against such things. Nice job!
