*Critique Club*
Nice macro. Definately creepy.
I'm not really sure where the focus is? I see a couple small parts that seem to be in sharp focus. All near the 'feet' of the mosquito. Right near the skin. See in the bottom left corner, that patch of human skin that is really detailed. We can see the texture nicely. I try to follow that sharpness through the photo, and I see a couple arm hairs, and then the antenae of the mosquito. This doesn't seem like a great path for the DOF. I'd like to see parts of the body that were in focus as well. Probably the body and head at least.
The lighting appears to be good. We do get to see great detail in the patterns on his back and lots of different 'mosquito parts'. No harsh spots or bad shadows.
The angle and framing/cropping are really good. I wish his leg wasn't in front of his face, but you couldn't have exactly asked him to move it. I like how the body is kind of 'in your face'. I think the close crop works here, as we all know exactly how tiny this little guy is. We don't need any other reference to size, so cropping right in on him works well in my opinion.
I don't mind the red. I think that it works ok here because when we think of mosquitos, it's in warm weather, we think of blood, and we think of disease. All which could be represented by the color red. Blue just wouldn't have worked here I don't think.

| Very cool and original idea. Hope ya/they don't get West Nile. (C: Like to see a touch more focus on the "blood sac" of the skeeter though. Nice job |
