One from the weekend.. Some might like it in portrait orientation of which I have many but I've kind of made this a trademark layout for some of my macro work and decided to keep it up.. :biggrin:

Your comments welcome as always..

Good one Brett, I'm a fan of lots of space so like it as is.

This comp works fine for me. Beautifully detailed as always. I really must take some time to try this sort of thing ('cause I will sure as hell need some practice! :biggrin: ). Nice one.

Trade mark image Brett... Only a minor nit, and it may be the compression, but the contrast seems a little high, the blacks look like they need reducing a shade...

I like the bold composition Brett, it works nicely for me. A fantastic looking caterpillar too.

A fine example of the art of macro photography.

It does work well in this format, but I bet it works just as well in portrait.
