Can't believe this was at 4.5! Amazing DOF & wonderful eding treatment. He's like the little collie with two colored eyes too - which is always a heart plucker. Great job.

I would not have guessed this was a composite, either. Striking!

Had you not posted the originals in your notes, I'd have never known this was a composite. Works very very well!

This green is almost translucent, the lights seems to shine right through him.

Watchout! The way he's looking at you I think you've invaded his personal space. Love what you've done with the bokeh.

This looks like perhaps the beginning of your great insect imagery. It doesn't quite have the impact of your current images. However, it does display a very stylish design effect which is quite charming.

Beautiful. He looks like he's a jade carving.

You truly need to find a publisher to make a way out book with your unbelievable bug shots. They are truly magnificent!!

Ah, grasshopper.

Of all things, to live in darkness must be the worst.
Fear is the only darkness.
Never assume that because a man has no eyes, he cannot see.
Close your eyes. What do you hear?
I hear the water. I hear the birds.
Do you hear your own heartbeat?
No.
Do you hear the grasshopper which is at your feet?
Caine opens his eyes and looks down at his feet to see a grasshopper there. 'Old Man, how is it that you hear these things?'
Young Man, how is it that you do not?

Awesome! You even squeezed the Bokeh Circles which gives a better feel (to me anyway).
