Pleasant to look at, but too much contrast, more ambient light could have helped. The shadow under the bug is too dark, which makes it hard to see the contours. Also I cannot make out any details on its head. Is that bug looking away from the camera? --Dschwen17:12, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Well see, the problem was that the bug's shell absorbed all of the incident light that fell on it! I had a large flourescent light only inches away from him when I took the picture, and I dodged the photo in photoshop. I suppose I could try again.PiccoloNamek18:21, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
You could try using a bounce card to direct some light under the bug. That would help make it stand out from the shadow. --Dschwen 18:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC). Fixed version is already much better! --Dschwen18:37, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Support. Great picture. Personally I'd go for more DOF and keep the whole bug in focus but that's subjective. Rhobite01:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
