For me it is a good shot, but i miss something more striking in the picture, maybe a crop a bit more out of center or a disturbing object.

I really like this shot. I think the contrast between the subject and background works well. Good job!

Thanks a lot for all your comments. It's interesting that your opinions vary so much.
This picture was taken at my parents' home, there's a window on the right side which couldn't be shaded. So it would have been impossible to get an even lighting of the background.

special and fine!

I wouldn't have noticed the variance in light until it was mentioned, and it makes sense. I love the simplicity of this image and that it makes me wonder about the rest of the room and what it may look like.

This cute little snail is sitting on my thumb. And my hands are quite small ;)

It is scary and it looks like the face of a hairy monster, it's intruiging

Cool.. It does look like a very blured photo of a gorilla with it's mouth open and growling. grr :)

I think we're all on the same page on this one. Great shot...looks like miffed gorilla taking his/her revenge. You can almost see hair on its chest, and the impression of a clavicle. Nice, scary work, anke!

I have to say, I don't get this. Makes me wonder about the catagorie.

I like this picture!

This is beautiful... I could imagine it as a large print in a modern hallway...

Thanks Anke!
I'm actually trying to create a small book with my photos from the Uyuni Salaar, and this image would figure in a good place on it (not the cover, but probably the backside).

interesting view!

Great idea

Very cool :) Just one question - how did you take the picture - I can't see the shadow of the camera...?

Nicely done. Great idea.

@redcat77: I was waiting for someone to ask the question :)
I had the camera on a strap around my neck, a wide-angle lens and simply put it on timer.

this is very fun. love it and thanks for the smile.

I like the dark colors and tones in this image. The fence helps draw my eye into the photo. The wood to the left seems to be a bit brighter than everthing else. Was that caused by a flash?

Very nice shot, I'd just make the fence in the lower left corner a bit darker because it draws the eye away from the more interesting parts of the picture.

I like the shot so much. The darkness makes fell the power of the nature.
In my opinion, I'm agrre with aloha. The flash in the first plane wood shine too much and disturb my traveling on the photo.

very nice composition.
only regret: the left bottom corner. I guess that you used a flash to take this picture, no ?
anyway, this portion of fence is too bright comparing to the rest of the picture. so it's drawing the eye and remove some of the mystic feelings of this picture.
may be try to crop or darken this ?

Good shot - well seen and nice composition to be sure - wonderful atmosphere - I am not terribly bothered by the bright spot in the lower left, but it does take one out of the atmosphere a little bit.

Best to you,
Jon

That is incredible. What was your setup? Seems that this would be so tough to take... Great job.

Immpressive macro.

Thank you! It was a mere snapshot - I didn't believe it would turn out so good :)

I took the photo with my ordinary Lumix DMC-LS3, no special equipment.

haha, yikes! This shot really stands out! Good job.

I have been shooting many Tipulidae crane flies, but never under this particular angle, excellent !

This image works perfectly for the subject, I like it!

Menudos colores.
todavia no he tenido la suerte de hacer una foto con esta gama de colores.
Hay mucho photoshop?
Me encanta

Si hay bastante PS, correcion selectiva, filtro en sepia y alguna cosa mas que no recuerdo ahora.

Gracias por comentar

Thanks for the comments

Excellent, although I see some sort of greenish tone.

Thank you to the staff of Vazaar and all the users for giving this photography a feature.

You helped me to continue with photography. I hope to upload more photographys soon.

Thank you very much.

Great shot. Personally, a think a little more DOF would be good. It would put some detail into the flower parts and the leg.

Oh, and I like that the petal breaks the frame a little. It makes it clear that even though there is texture detail there, it isn't the subject of the picture.

This is a beautiful shot and that's about all I have to say...nothing to critique. I like the DOF. I think it separates the insect well from the background.

Simply perfect. Nothing to complain about, I love it!

Very well done! No criticism.

Wow! taht's all I can say. Love it!!!

This image makes me smile. After a hard work, that worked out okay, it is nice seeing a very good and sharp image with a funny touch.

Thanks for all your friendly comments

what a great and funny shot...the dog looks like he/she is being so gentle not to move that he/she closed it's eyes. Nicely captured

This is a winner all the way around. Excellent capture!

Nice. So clear. Good shot.
