i have to admit this was a tough challenge. perfect was never straight from the camera when i shot with film and developed in a darkroom. but that doesn't mean it isn't a goal to aim for.
if there were only one thing i'd like to be able to adjust in a challenge like this... white/black point...
i sort of built a light tent from white matte board and a black reflector. the flash was fired - hand held - aiming toward the left of frame but above the marble at the black reflector and the white BG. it was a tricky thing to minimize the hot spots on the marble and the bug, yet get some shadow depth. nevermind not being to edit the file at all.
oh - it's a real bug but i didn't kill it. the marble did ;}
