Beautiful! They sure are messy eaters. Reminds me of my kids.

Wonderful series Brian. This guy looks like he needs a bib and napkin.

Interesting to see that the pollen is actually spherical. I assumed it was a powdery substance with perhaps a more granular shape.

Definitely #3--a real winner. I like the shade of purple alot--I'd put one of these on my wall, if they didn't have "bugs" on 'em!

I'm running out of words to describe your work, Brian. You have such a wonderful talent and I am glad you are able to share it with us. BTW, have you visited any other galleries yet?

wow! Amazing shots. The third one is simply fantastic. Funny how the fly managed to get pollen absolutely everywhere *except* on its eyes..

They're all fantastic, but the last one is superb. How many shots are stacked for each image?

I'm going to go against the crowd and say #4 is my fave. So alien, and the fly seems to be grinning.

Lord Vetinari · March 3, 2009

Thanks for looking and commenting Cuong and Elliot - much appreciated.

Cuong think these are just 2 or 3 shot stacks.
