Yes, Yun, a fitting Halloween macro shot, with great details in the eyes and classic Halloween colors in a fine comp.

Good abstract! I groan in butterfly houses with the tripod/monopod restrictions, but I do understand the reasons. Still, trying to keep 4 or 5 lbs of camera and lens still is daunting, even with optical stabilization. cheeky

Intersting close up with fine detail, especially for a hh close up, Yun.
