I so wish the wings were also in focus. Was this one alive? Great shot. 8.

Hi from the Critique Club

My first impression is that the shot is that it is busy and I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at.

Composition is not great as there are two major elements fighting for our attention.

Lighting, as observed by your one comment in voting, could be more flattering.

For DPC the trick is not to just get a shot the meets the challenge but also to make it interesting so that we stay and look a while. You've managed this in some of your other challenge entries, but not in this one :(

Very excellent shot. I really like the natural desaturated look. The comp is super.

A 5 sec. exposure? Wow.. I love that you put some facts in the image details, now I learned something to. As someone said, this is a masterclass photo.

Pretty much a masterclass for macro work! I have this lens and have never managed to get anything near this quality.

Fabulous work.

Excellent shot, I'd really like to see more camera data on this shot (ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed...)
