SLR cams give so flexibility - like reverse mounting, etc... |

| I seem to find myself clicking on this image every second time I visit DPC. I'm going to have to learn something about the whole reversed lens caper - this is right up there with the best macros every seen on this website. |

| Great picture congratulations I'm very pleased to see this shot with my same (and most wonderful) camera. I was wondering anyway which lens did you use it seems to be great for macro. Once again congratulations keep doing great things for minoltians |

Dude. Totally awesome. I did not know there was such a picture in the challenge, but I took some shots posted in this thread probably within a few days of your pic. I like yours a bit better for the BG and color treatment though.
Nice.
I will probably post more details and setup shots later on to maintain that a bit when I get time for those who are interested. |

Most other challenges you'd have won the blue with this Phil - bad luck Manny happened along this time. Very nice macro nonetheless, and absolutely deserves to be on the front page.
well done.

Wowsers!!! This is incredible! You have really put together the total package here. I mean, this like goes beyond macro! So, you've got the extreme close up, amazing detail thing going on. Then you've got the fiercely strong, in your face composition. And you've got these sweet colors happening. And on top of it all, awesome lighting, ...and...talk about texture. I feel like if I put my fingers on the screen, I could feel that guy! Aaaannddddd....interest factor??? Man, fahget abowt it! :-P I could look at this all night! You know, usually, some bug macros are kinda cool, but for the most part, I'm normally like, yeah, that's good, but, anh. This shot though is just the bomb, man. Fav, 10, sign me up, yeah!!!
....oh, and...nice shot :-) |
