Awesome. Perfect DOF, imho, and nicely framed

Cheers Jim G

Definitely better than a shot of a car windscreen which I thought was the last thing most insects see before departing this world

Very nice lighting...very few/minor hot spots. Also good saturation.

Yeah...but the only VERY tiny burnouts are in very isolated spots, on the legs for example, where the body is probably a bit shiny anyway, so hard to avoid reflections altogether. I think you've done a remarkable job of keeping the light relatively flat as is. I've found that sometimes underexposing slightly and then opening up the midtones a little in PS or CR can help. But you don't need much help...very good shot. Let me know if you come up with any ideas on how to diffuse your light further...we can all benefit perhaps.

Sometimes they get curious and follow you around, but if one ever jumps on my lens -or me- I'll run away screaming like a little girl!!
