This is SUCH. ..SUCH a cool photo! It looks so classic and nostalgic. And something about that natural huge smile on her face makes it look unposed, even tho she is looking at the camera. This is AWESOME santaspores :)

I really like the exuberance and joy in this and it's beautifully framed and composed with the reflections in the glasses. Nice.

WOW!! How freaking bizzarro is that?? Look at his/her right eye! That really adds a LOT of interest to this picture :) You really have a skill for macro insects and if you enjoy it, I would suggest you do as much as you can!! These have been incredible :) Any ideas to the type of spider here?? :)

Kenny -
I agree with you (and I had other people say the same) - it needs more dark tones. I took three different exposures (I think I used +-2 but would have to check). The darks were certainly captured, the problem is an edit issue. Maybe I'll post a 3rd version of this... or just chalk up some experience and know better next time.

How many frames did you take with this...and at what shutter or bracket?

Looks pretty good...may need one stop darker though...
