Please allow me to thank each and every one who liked this pic.

To answer some questions...

Yes it was a difficult subject to shoot, it is the first time ever I saw this insect and followed it around for about an hour. The Korean people thought I must be a mad man because I was running around, grunting,sweating and swearing like a sailor.But it was worth it for me, of the about 1Gig I shot I can use about 40 pics only.

What made it so difficult is that this thing does not 'sit' still long enough for autofocus. So later on I tried to anticipate it's next flight plan, focussed manually and ...... became trigger happy.

To share I have posted a few more on my portfolio.

Thank you very much once again.

Brad, do not allow this placing to get to you. Although you should know in general DPC do not like pics of dolls and toys and whatever, you should remind yourself that you take pics for yourself. The only way to improve is by noting what they 'say' in their scores and comments... and then to go and improve on it.

Congratulations on the new camera and lenses.... now you are going to kick ass!

This an awesome photograph. It tells the truth about such a large portion of our society, actually,the story of one and all at some times although we may never want to admit it.

I love the skew doorframe, the use of contrast, the black and white. A well deserved top 5 placing.
