 Serious macro photo taken of an interesting insect here in Iraq.

Hope that someone can identify it...

Have more photos taken from that session that show the entire insect if anyone is interested.

Odd, it looks like there was an error while uploading as the bottom is all greyed out for me... could be something wrong with my system, but I reloaded and tried a few times back and forth...

Anyhow, this is really good, very nice lighting and great use of Depth of field. It also looks like the insect is alive! Tough to photograph!

I'd like to see a larger view of the bug too...

A couple of things to note that I came across with my own macro shot is that when resizing, I lost a LOT of fine detail. I therefore made an action in PS to do this in around 20 steps. I find that it's a bit kinder to my detail. Doing 20 resizes by hand sucks.

Also, a quick pass with USM might also help bring out the subject's details a bit. I think I can see some hairs lining the eye....

The angle of composition is vey pleasing as well. Nice!
