Monster Macro

This started as a focus stack of 38 images, each at F11, taken with a Fuji S3 body and Micro Nikkor 105 lens. I stacked the images using Helicon Focus. I then cut the image in half and created a mirror image of one side so that the image would be symmetrical. I then used Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 to greatly enhance the image and finished it by using the liquify filter to elongate the horns on the head.
This is a female Malaysian walkingstick insect, "Heteropteryx dilatata".

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
