Now that's close! Would make a nice "tapestry" hanging on a wall. Excellent image.

Yes it has a tapestry-like appearance. Excellent control of lighting to minimise reflection of the scales. A very nice twist indeed. :smile:

nice seeing the subcolours on the scales at different points great.

Superb close-up Dale - I really like the fact that you can see the missing scales on the wings - top macro work; this is what it's all about - showing 'stuff' we can't usually see :toast: :toast:

Really well done Dale.You'd never normally see those little splashes of blue in the 'wing eyes'

Super detail. The flashes have really brought out the detail of the wing scales very well.
