    The different color BG in the LR bugs me a bit but I tried to change it and couldn't get it looking right so I left it as it.

    Ken, I agree w/ Judy-very nice topside view. Nice sharp details. I might evict the couple of large circular highlights in the BG and the tiny black spot before print. Lovely comp. and BG color. Very nicely done.:)

    Nice pose and I like the colors and composition. Agree about the tiny dark spot and maybe some work on the bright areas on the twig on left. Bg works for me.

    Ken, this is another beautiful insect image! I see what you mean by the LRC so I took the eye dropper and touched it to the LLC and then set the brush to a soft setting and an opacity of 30% and went over that area 1-2 times. I did it very quickly just to show you but with some time and effort you could really bring that area up to the same level as the rest of the BG. That said, I don't think it's that bad in the first place!

    Great details and what a pose!

    Hey Ken, good looking critter, like the way he is perched on the stem. Good details.

    Hi Ken, Wonderful looking Clubtail we do not have many of them down here so I always enjoy images of them. You wouldnt happen to have a side view showing off how they get their names would you:)
