Some closeups of a woodlouse. Always think these look amazingly menacing, not sure if it's the Darth Vader or WW2 german helmet look that does it :).

    Yeah, I'd say these are "close ups." Way cool, as usual. thumb.gifthumb

    Excellent captures, but creepy. I'm sure you've shot lots of happy things, but I always seem to check in to see your creepy-crawly stuff! rolleyes1.gif

    Seriously, I always appreciate your images with their superb detail. I think about doing more macro, but I'm more suited to landscapes instead. So, I just sit back and enjoy your work!!! :D

    Cheers,

    That was a wonderful and well-deserved compliment you gave to Brian, Lauren. And I echo it.

    Awesome work, Brian! These are fantastic! thumb.gif

    Probably more a knobby head of an irate Klingon that adds such menacing appeal to your woodlice ("rolly-pollies" to the kidlets out there).
