Amazing photo. It's like too perfect to be real. Wonderful contrast and detail, and the insect is just so beautiful.

But this can't be a photo, can it? Look at it's eyes.

That is wicked. I am getting a Nikon D40X myself for Christmas. I was looking on google for sample shots to see what other people have produced, and I came accross your DA page. Excellent work!

I use the Sigma 150mm f2.8 The best lens depends on what your going to be shooting most. The extra length of the 150mm (and 180mm) gives you a greater working distance, which can be usefull for skittish insects. It does however make the lens harder to use due to increased camera shake.

where do you find all these amazing insects? Do you live near a lake?

Nope, but I do have two small ponds in my garden. I also visit a lot of local wildlife reserves, covering wetlands, grasslands and woodlands.
