    Steve the first shot reminds me of a Pillow Fight and the mess rolleyes1.gif

    The face on your Bug-Eyed Monster is just amazing,
    looks like a Godfather, just needs a cigar, dark glasses and a hat :giggle

    These are really cool Steve clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Nice captures Steve. Is that the depth of field cutting out the focus on the flys eyes??

    Good work.

    I dont think so, I dont know much about eye structure but i have a feeling that the lower section is faceted differently to the top section.

    They have bifocals, I reckon.. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks tim..
    He was really covered in pollen. And he was way inside the flower so i was struggling to get some light in there via flash..

    cheers,
