 This bug invaded my room, unknowingly volunteering himself for this photo. Unfortunately he wouldn't sit still, so as much as I hated to do it, I had to kill him (humanely with cotton full of perfume)

Depth of field is too shallow. Eyes aren't entirely sharp and in-focus.

DOF is too narrow really. A slower shutter speed and longer exposure would help this, which is sometimes difficult where insects are concerned!

Nice alien-like look to it with the lighting. It might be better cropped off a little on the left side. The light reflection in the eye adds a little bit of an evil look to it.

Cool shot and the narrow DOF seems purposeful, but I'd rather see a bit wider view of him. 8 Rob the Swash
