I think it is pretty good... I like the detail of the "hands"... you can see there are two "fingers" on each... the vein detail on the wings is good too...

FDB,

This is a good shot and I like it; my only criticism is that this bug is...well...sort of frowning. So you have two choices, flip the image 180 degrees or tell him a joke during the next photo shoot (LOL)...kidding around.

Good work.

Wow....very cute bug. I like the detail that you captured in the wings and the feet.

Nice work! Fascinating little beastie and well captured Not too keen on the white f/g...looks a bit unnatural (is it?).
