Absolutely Wonderful shot

Great shot. The backdrop adds the mood. Did you try this at different angles???
Anurag
excellent shot, background color is matching with the insect, however would have liked some more space behind the tail, which is almost touching the left border.

Good shot. Natural colors, sharp details, good POV & DOF. Composition-wise I would have off-centered the subject a little more.

Absolutly fab, Even the most ugly looking things have beauty.

I take a lot of macro shots myself and as you can see there’s hardly any depth of field however you got the eye in focus which is the main thing. This guy probably spent his larval stage under water; but despite his miniscule brain he emerges with better flight skills than the best pilots… amazing.
