OH cool! Love the fish eye. Perfect high key too. Has an Eames feel to it.

Critique Club Review:

Depth of field is too shallow here. The legs form the angles, but are soft in this picture so they do not get the attention they deserve.

I think most viewers are used to a sharp foreground and a soft background. Here the body is extremely soft halfway up the picture.

The head and antennae look great though.

Color, saturation, hue, contrast and brightness are all very good.

I don't think your depth of field is working here, you need more of it in focus.

I like the greyscale approach you took.
I would imagine there was too much colour noise.

I think this photo is penalized by two things: too many details far a silhouette and a too chatic background.
