Hi David,

Creepy looking fellow, interesting stain on the rock! looks like he's been sick on it. I think the comp and interest is good, I just think it looks a little washed out on my monitor, could maybe be improved with a little extra contrast, just to make it pop a little more!

A good shot of an interesting subject David. Given the angle you have taken this from, I think you have done an excellent job with DoF. Its a shame that some of that detail is a bit lost against the colours of the rock.

Hi David, agree with Tim, does look like it could use a bit more contrast. I like the way he blends with his background :toast:

I always enjoy the detail in a well taken macro image!
