Hi Greg

I know the song from Depeche but i also know the cover from Rammstein and i really like that one, too :))

A very good macro especially taking into consideration the conditions you took it in. After what you've described, i would have thought twice about going so high on the f-stop...but i would have been wrong; you did great and the result is great!
The colors of the bug stand out well and i think you couldn't have asked for a better and complementing BG than the one you've got here.
Great job with the vertical composition and the PP, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: you know me, i'm not a member that seeks points or anything, but i would like to draw your attention to my last post. I would really like your opinion on the ID because it might be useful for a survey i will be making, so just a short comment would be more than enough :) Thanks in advance my friend!

Oh Red Greg, I want one of these please. I love the colours, AND I like those Kenko extension tubes - can I use them on my Canon 30D? Did you put 3 tubes on your camera?

Stripped down to the bone NOT very nice words MF.

Awesome capture - super colours and sharp details,

BRAVO and kia ora

Hello Greg !
Great picture, I love these little bugs ! They are so beautiful with their black and red stripes. Even if the conditions were difficult, you managed a great shot. Excellent details, natural colors, splendid composition and POV, and a great pose of your little friend, with head down. The beautiful blurred BG is so soft and smooth. Very well done !
Valerie.
