Comments welcome

Outstanding.

You must have some special talent to get this sort of attention from your subject.This guy is looking right at you and you have captured every detail of the elaborate body structure.You have skillfully combined the graceful stance,the yellow pedestal and that nice background to create an impressive image.Bravo!

Sorry Chris, but this is a 4 at best... LOL! Ok, I can't even say it with a straight face. Perfect DOF at F8. This thing was a poser to let you shoot ISO 320 at 1/25th of a second. Bokeh is perfect, tact sharp, and composition is great. Nothing bad to say. Perfect 7.

May I ask what equipment your using? Particularly the lens? It was shot around I think 130mm. Was it the Canon 130mm macro? Thanks. Again, well done.

 I really appreciate your time and comment

Yes in this shot he is looking right at me but in the other 10 he was not :)

Thanks again

Chris

Also thanks for your time, comment and the smile you gave me

I used the Canon 180 Macro on this shot I have since sold

that lens and am now using the Sigma 150 Macro 

Thanks again

Chris

This is too good! The pose from this guy, the composition, the IQ. Superb.  7/7

Super, Brother Chris.  The colors, comp and detail all wonderful.

Love the pose; all this one needs is castanets and a rose in the mouth.. a little flamenco music and

Hay arriba!

Simply outstanding my friend. Your technical skill is unparalleled

Outstanding presentation!

The subject is looking at you, Chris! maybe admiring your talent. Something leds me to your gallery again and again. Congrats my friend.

Hi Christopher.

What a stunning picture of an incredible insect. He looks like an alien, but your picture is amazing. At which distance did you shoot him?

best regards Per.
