Hi Sam,

Very nice close up work here! The eyes are certainly the focal point of this image. Love the colours here! The only nit for me is the light spot on the top right - having said that it doesn't distract from the image, just me I suppose.

I love this, Sam. the selective DoF works really well, and the colours are fantastic. It's nice to see a new view of an oft' photographed insect that works so well.

Hi Sam,

Great photo, although i agree with Paul that the white spot is slightly distracting.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi Sam

Yes re the white spot - but I really like your crop and view point. Insperational stuff!

Unusual photographed but very nice though. But for me, the white spot is a slightly distracting as well.

Hello Sam.
This right up my street and you have done an excellent job. Just love it.
I know its been said but if you deal with that white spot it makes this faultless to me. :wavey:
