I've heard (read) it said that it's better to do the USM or whatever sharpening, after resizing, rather than before. It makes sense to me, what with the edges being prone to abuse during resizing, but I'm a lot less sure about the perceptible difference. I think this is a good shot and perfectly, or at least well, focussed. The edges and the body of the little fellah don't look too sharp though. May have something to do with the nature of the beast, i.e. that translucence. Larger format might have helped.
Anyway he's dead cute and I'm glad you got him in here. :-)
This a nice little macro with some good use of negative space, but it does seem slightly out of focus/the creature doesn't seem strong enough to carry the shot as a whole.
