Stunning macro. Can't really say what critter this is, but from the looks of it I don't think it's a "fluffy" one.

@ Bear_Music
I wasn't too pleased with the color of the sky at the time of shooting so I did a white balance shift in camera to somewhere very blue then put a yellow gel over my light. Didn't notice my mistake till I got into post, I should have grabbed an orange gel in retrospect

@ Venser
Ha, well if it wasn't me it would be someone else that would have beaten you to the punch, I got that back when gmail was still invite-only out so I was very fortunate.

Thanks for the comments everyone! It was fun to participate in a challenge again, it had been a while.

I THOUGHT I had recognized her, LOL. Strange green flesh tones, but I assume that was intentional?

I thought this was Monica's since she's in the photo. Hence the comment I left. I rather liked the photo because it was different from the rest. Wasn't the standard fan and a person.

Now I know why I wasn't able to get csmithphotography@gmail.com, you took it. Instead I have the shorter christophersmithphotography@gmail.com, no thanks to you.

Thi is a great photo. My favorite part is the title, not only is the model balanced, but the flash has been balanced with the ambient. Great shot and title.
