i don't really like it. Sure it's a nice picture, well done; But I don't think this is very original.. That picture doesn't mean anything, exept that you are able to use your camera very well.
I guess I'm wrong to say all this, coz you all like it very much. I think photography is not just about technique, even if it's important. #2209681

December 21, 2005

Wow! Such beautiful detail and colouring. You've shown me a part of the animal kingdom I have never seen before. Stunning! Congratulations. :o) #2209746

David A. Dawson December 21, 2005

It's a nice picture of a hard to capture insect. I agree with Jeroen's own critic, a smaller aperature, perhaps f4, would have allowed the entire tail and stem to be in focus.
I would really like to see more useful constructive criticism on these discussion pages. #2209895
