[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another result from my inverted lens photography. This the time the close up of a compound eye of a dragon fly sitting on my keyboard. The compound eye may consist of thousands of individual photoreceptor units. The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous individual "eye units", which are located on a convex surface, thus pointing in slightly different directions. Compared with simple eyes, compound eyes possess a very large view angle, and can detect fast movement. More info can be found in wikipedia.

Hello Soumen,
The hexagonal ommatidia of this dragonfly's compound eyes are well in focus where they reflect the light with the rest of the head in softer focus but with good clarity and natural colours. Your inverted lens technique works well!
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hello Soumen.
Lovely details of the popping compound eye. Good effort from the reversing ring. As Samiran suggested, stacking will render a wider DoF with finer details.

Hello Soumen,
Nice macro.

Hello Soumen

Excellent photo of this insect with the focus
done at his left eye, you could pass from ISO200
to ISO400 and like that increase your shutter speed, TFS

Ciao Soumen. Good attempt MF! Colours and details are good too. Too tender sharp.
