This insect landed on a sticky film on my dinner plate and became

glued there. I took the shot to get a better look at the insect and

was surprised at how interesting the image was. I looks kind of like

the bug is praying to some insect deity.

 

Please let me know what you think.

 

Thanks for viewing.

Even when shooting just to see what is really there, as in this shot, I try for good composition, detail and light. Somewhat to my surprise they all came together in this shot. I used less than max macro ability to try to preserve a little more DOF and then cropped.

 

The small sensor, 8 mega-pixel, Sony P&S does a pretty good job with enough light.

 

I am pleased that you like the shot. I try to produce something that is a bit above average. It is reassuring to know that my efforts are appreciated. Thanks!

I believe the monochromatic tones of this photo is its greatest strenght. I like the position and framing of the insect too. Especially its wings. It is a good photo and it is original in my opinion. Congrats.
