Great detail.Nice colors. #2550801Dorothy Lam March 19, 2006
Wow! I like how you took the shot from below the insect instead of from the top...exposing its legs. Nice. #2550841Kay Beausoleil March 20, 2006
Really impressive colours, detail and DOF, Goutham.Your signature is a little distracting because it's the lightest thing in the image. Making it a little darker wouldn't hurt. #2552943
