Story is: I use sometimes my notebook connected to my 32" LCD TV, and when this photo appears it's just so SHARP!! Amazing tones and great bokeh.
Congrats!

I really want to know what your lens set up is...this is WOW...love the bokeh and how the light reflects off the beetle (?)

I'm normally very worn out on insect shots but, this one, I think captures me because of your processing and the saturation with the DOF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 04:10:24 PM
Excellent detail.

Whoa! Just look at the details and iridescent green color on that beetle! You can see hairs on this insect - that is how sharp as a tack this is. We can truly appreciate all the details of this creature rather than be just mesmirized by it colorful iridescent topshell. Love the bokeh effect where there is a warm orange & yellow background to complement the colors of this beetle.
