Wow! Normally I don't like Macro shots, because with the right lens, they always look good. But this one is extremely creative and well done!

Beautifully done!!!

Amazing! I love the rain drops, I dont recall a macro shot like this before.

This is so originaly and interesting

. How did you get this shot! - Lex

Excellent macro work. Superb.

I like this shot, I can see what equipment you used by just looking at the water droplets what amazes me is just how you got to do it? How did you get the water onto your subject and get so close before it flew off?

 

Kind regards

Congrats, Peter. Excellent macro! Glauco

Excellent lighting. I love how you can see the light in the water drops. Very crisp! It feels refreshing! Very nice work.

Thank you for question. All my photos of insects are taken in the early morning, when is dewy and cold - I can come very close to insect, because when is cold they simply freeze. That's why I get such a big magnification (1:1 ~ 5:1) and all those water drops on insects are just drops of dew. I've never sprayed water on insects. And all animals on my photos are alive.

Peter,

 

Amazing work! Congratulations on a very fine photograph. I particularly like the way that the insect almost looks like the captive of the little droplets, almost like a battle between a living force and the more elemental forces of nature. Nicely done.

 

Octavia Ross,

I know you are making a subjective assesment, but I have to disagree with your characterization of macro photography. For every great macro photograph you actually see, there are typically many rejects that you don't. I'd amend your statement to include proper technique, along with the proper lens. That technique is very difficult to master, just like almost any other branch of photography.

wonderful macro congratulations

This is so cool....

Absolutely wow. This guy is so sharp and colorful. I like the way he looks like he is pushing one bubble off the leaf. He's got a long way to go.:) Great shot!
