Ever since I met this fellow in Turkey I have weird fascination for them. In the insect world they are not to be trifled with. Brilliant POV Paul with excellent detail on the head revealing those compound eyes. Very nice work.

Ha ha, what big eyes you have my friend.

Good macro Paul with some great compound eye detail. Great POV.
Wonder what it thought of the big black object you stuck in front of it, or was it to busy thinking "if only I was biiger".

I like the way you wrote the note too.

Hi Paul,

The details on the eyes are amazing! This is so close. Colors are great and exposure is spot on. The oof parts in the fg do not disturb me at all. Well composed; diagonal lines always do it for me. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hello Paul, Very well composed with an excellent POV. Super details of the head and eye segments. I really like these "Bearded Bandits" and having seen them in action has given me a new appreciation of their talents. Your theme works well here. Very well done.
