   Amazing!!!!!! This is a wonder! The detail is impeccable! The blurb was an interesting note too. How did you get so seemingly (?) close? Great Work Matthew!

   This is just amazing stuff. I am really impressed by your entreprise and your patience.
   By the way the MP-65 is an awesome lense.
   Hats OFF!!

   Those 5mm creatures spread deadly diseases like Malaria, Dengue and Filariasis. Which cause hundereds of thousands of deaths in the tropical and equatorial regions.

   I have tried photographing emerging mosquitoes and was rather proud of myself till i saw this. How did you do it? This is a really good photograph.

    Amazing … Very detailed. Too bad the Earthshots watermark ruins the reflection.

    Thanks for the comments. It took quite a bit of planning to achieve this photo but it basically consisted of a lot of flash and making sure that I had the lowest possible angle to keep the reflection. I also had to do a lost of waiting around for the right moment!
