Perfect focus, great DOF isolating an individual feature on an already small subject - fantastic work.

This is a fantastic shot, textures of the skin, the detail on the eye, the expression are all awesome. A small gripe about the BG, I think it would be even more striking on black, red or orange, the neutral gray definitely does not hurt though.

Nice to see a different sort of macro - refreshing. Good luck for the challenge! One of my few 10s

a Tokay, no? excellent detail and DOF. perhaps a little more contrasted backdrop (darker OR lighter) might make this guy pop a little more. I'm looking forward to seeing what lens/camera you used for this. the rich tones and sharp contrast are brilliant.

Thats fanstastic detail, and a unique subject, overall a great macro, but I find your border distracting,

I like the wheel that's out front. I think the other wheels clutter the background -- even though they're darker.

good lighting and texture of skin, great view of the eye; good use of dof.

Ooooo, that is a sweeeet looking eye. This up close and personal view really does give the subject an alien like appearance. Great sharp focus and DOF.

I can almost feel the texture of the wheels. Good job.
