The Kill

All comments and critiques are welcome, been a while since I uploaded

anything lol.

SICK!!!!  Amazing detail and timing here!!  As a newb to macro..im so jealous...

You wend beyond 1:1 for this?

Not really, it may appear that way, but it was fairly tightly cropped.

Very nice - fantastic and sharp detail. Congrats, Wobby.

Incredible details.  The diagonal composition intensify the sense of drama. Was this captured on a windshield? the angle of the reflecting surface and the little details in the bottom right corner look like a car windshield. Well captured - michel

very nice

This is one impressive image.I like the angle of the beast,the sharp details,the soft reflection on the glass and the background with the darker upper corner which further enhances the dramatic nature of the image.Bravo...and I am borrowing this one for my favorites folder.

Really appreciate the very kind comments. For those that asked, this was taken on the front wing of my wife's car. The black stripe to the bottom right being the tail end of the coachline transfer. The little grainy specks, well I guess the car needs washed. The image was cropped down some from the original, but not wildly, just removed some excess that to me was non-beneficial to the image. I did a tiny amount of post editing to this, tiny amount of sharpening, and I ran it through noise reduction as from memory my ISO was higher than I had wanted. Other than that, pretty much as is.

Thanks again for the very confidence boosting comments. Much Appreciated.

if you do not mind me asking, what noise reduction program do you use...I have yet to invest into that aspect of pp...??

This image didn't really have a great deal of digital noise in it to start with, but I used a tiny amount of NR to help 'clean' it up. I don't have a specific NR program, and not being a technical pro, perhaps not the best to give advice as such on it either. All I can tell you is windows live photo has it, and I also have it via Lightroom....what's best I have no idea. If you really want a good answer, I'd post a question in the forums about it, I am sure you will get GREAT answers there.

Great..grande scatto!!

Great job. It's striking, sharp, dramatic, and well composed.

Excellent Work.. Congratulations
