Another great macro study David , but I would drop the gamma a bit- give it some "beef"- and think about the frame ! :wink:
Maybe more space left but a great shot anyway.

Thanks for the input John. I've just upgraded SigmaPhotoPro to version 3.5.2 and it is taking some getting used to, for me anyway. :eek: but I think it will be worth it.

Hello David.

Well you wanted to show the detail and detail this has, makes an excellent ID type of shot.

Now you have included some canvas on the left, which is better I would take some of the right just to balance the image back up. I think I would also clone over the white area just in front of the flys eye.

An excellent detailed macro. :smile: It looks a teeny bit bright on my monitor and I'm not quite sure about the crop either - perhaps a bit more cancas on top ad a bit less on the right??
