 Used 60mm Macro lens, AB800 Alien Bee w/silver umbrella camera left, AB800 w/softbox subject left.

My 1st attempt of a bug in my studio. 20 minutes in the fridge and they are easy to pose and shoot, but you only have about 10 minutes before they start flying around again.

Awesome macro, the DOF really draws your attention to that little guys head, very nice.

Amazing Detail. I think it's fabulous...super sharp on his face. Too funny that you had the little guy in the fridge!

I would prefer more of the bug and less of the flower. Maybe a greater DOF would bring more of the bug into focus. I'd love to just be focused in on the bug's face in the picture...But very good macro.

I really like the detail of the little hairs that you can see on this bug. Nice colors in the bug. Not sure if I am keen on the blue background. It doesn't seem to compliment the bug. You have done a great job with the lighting. I am very envious. Just my two cents.
