Hey Ken,
Huge fan of these presentations and this is one of those areas that I actually want the DOF to falloff on the wings......just concentrates the attentionon the face.....where you nailed the sharpness! Small gripe.....eliminate the brownish patch on the petal on the RH side.....but this was very well done!
This is very cool, Ken. I really like the head-on pose and you have enough DOF to keep all the important parts sharp. The proboscis extending way down into the flower is a big plus. Very well done.
In your face is no lie! Outstanding angle and wow on the colors! I'd maybe clone the small yellow patch at the back of the magenta leaves but everything else is superb!
It is hard to take this bug seriously! It looks so funny--especially with those things sticking out to the sides over the eyes Really excellent shot! Gorgeous colors and composition.!
