It's a very good photo but the bug posture a bit weird to me, at glimpse.. thought it's a frog. To include more of body section could be better. sorry, no offense intended. cheers!

Beautiful photo. Reminds me of the photo I recently did with my wife as a maternity shot.

I saw your post in one of the (many) six-word threads.

I think the story in this was a bit confusing. I couldn't figure out what message the IR was trying to tell me. I think what would have made this shot resonate more is to get closer into the scene. This feels like a landscape at this size, when the real meat to this is that (panning?) station in the lower quadrant.

Terrific idea and shot! Too bad about the banding in the sky.
