I actually read the tutorial on this :) LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The detail in the eyes is just amazing and the colour here works very well. Makes it kinda creepy :)
I seem to find myself clicking on this image every second time I visit DPC. I'm going to have to learn something about the whole reversed lens caper - this is right up there with the best macros every seen on this website.
Great picture congratulations I'm very pleased to see this shot with my same (and most wonderful) camera. I was wondering anyway which lens did you use it seems to be great for macro. Once again congratulations keep doing great things for minoltians
WOW.... this has to be the coolest pic I think I've seen in a long time.. I just went out and bought me a "macro coupler" for two of my lenses... now I cant wait till it gets here... DAMN YOU!!! LOL
This is extreme art, love this pic. Can't say enough about the level of creativity with this picture. Maybe you can help me get my blinders off! Good job
Dude. Totally awesome. I did not know there was such a picture in the challenge, but I took some shots posted in this thread probably within a few days of your pic. I like yours a bit better for the BG and color treatment though.
Nice.
I will probably post more details and setup shots later on to maintain that a bit when I get time for those who are interested.
Most other challenges you'd have won the blue with this Phil - bad luck Manny happened along this time. Very nice macro nonetheless, and absolutely deserves to be on the front page.
Amazing Phil, I just LOVE this and so pleased you not only got your highest score but also won a ribbon as well......
"WOW" mate "CONGRATULATIONS", as it is so richly deserved.....Excellent macro, and a great "textured" image..... Way to go man.....It is also now in my favorites as well.....
Congratulations Phil on your first ribbon...thoroughly deserved, from the colour to the sharpness to the composition, this is one of the best macros around. Well done
thaz craazzaaahhh!!!. . ... this guy must be frozen or dead .... I think this is one of the most detailed macro-flies I've seen ... really nice and educational too ! 9
Wowsers!!! This is incredible! You have really put together the total package here. I mean, this like goes beyond macro! So, you've got the extreme close up, amazing detail thing going on. Then you've got the fiercely strong, in your face composition. And you've got these sweet colors happening. And on top of it all, awesome lighting, ...and...talk about texture. I feel like if I put my fingers on the screen, I could feel that guy! Aaaannddddd....interest factor??? Man, fahget abowt it! :-P I could look at this all night! You know, usually, some bug macros are kinda cool, but for the most part, I'm normally like, yeah, that's good, but, anh. This shot though is just the bomb, man. Fav, 10, sign me up, yeah!!!
....oh, and...nice shot :-)
Wow! I mean, holy cow, can you say "macro"?! This is unbelievable. The details. I can see defects in the lattice of the eyes, like missing cells or something. what is it anyway? wasp, bee, fly, or some strange monster alien that landed in your garden?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. . . .how fast can I press 10 before I can get away (because it really is texture to PERFECTION!!!!!!) Great job. ..now BYE!
The essence of an annoyance
