Hi Salvatore
Thanks for your comment on my 'clear for take off' image.
Great shot and excellent dof.
Interesting how the yellow patches on the wings almost look like a light shining in the background.
I have some close head shots in my 'am I buggin you' portfolio as well.
All the best

Like it!? It's a cracker Sal! Everything about it makes me want to keep looking. I especially like the amazing detail, the yellow glow and how it appears to be gesturing with it's "hand" as if to tell you to leave it alone.

Cheers.

Congratulations on awards - with the fabulous macro. The detail/sharpness, colour and composition are all awesome. But also it is so funny it is looks like a cartoon helicopter and the leg pointing off to the right is just perfect. 7 of course and in my favourites, so glad I didn't miss this many congratulations

Thank you for your glowing compliment Randy, the color is actually natural and extends from where the rear wings attatch to the body and fades to clear about mid-wing. You can see it a little better on this picture: http://www.usefilm.com/image/777798.html
Thanks again

Loss for words Salvatore! Wonderful wonderful image in so many ways. This could very well be my all time favorite insect macro. It has every component that makes a capture great,including humour. Perfect title to top it off. I would like to ask you what the yellow is in background, but it also adds to shot.
