wow! I loved how the wings look like as if they're drawn. They're perfectly symettrical-well at least for the human eye(ok.. my eye..) .

it's a great one-really. is it dead by the way?

curtg In reply to Gandreidh [2005-03-07 17:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again for the Wasn't dead. It sat there for about a minute. I got about 7-8 shots and then it was gone.

Curt - what incredible colors! I am astounded, the small joints along the spine almost appear as gemstones the way the are refracting the light in different directions. The detail in the wings and the "hair" is really good as well. Very nice capture guy - very nice indeed.

Just curious - did you flash him? I find the matching light relfection on the back of his eye globes very interesting and was curious if that was natural light or flashed.

Thanks very much P! This is from a series of photos I've had a while, and tried several different things in the past before I finally decided on the close crop. I think it helped emphasis the focus on the colors even more. No flash used though - it was a fairly bright day, and that is also probably the result of just a bit of level/highlight manip.

A great macro! The details are quite stunning. I especially like the glow of the rear portion and the really cool looking eye. It is good to see you back and posting new deviations.
