hello Friends,

Good Evening..

Can you guess what this is? l'm sure you all know, right? it reminded me of Transformers ^_^ not sure why.. hehehe..

not sure either whether to post this because of the ugly bg ~ my back hand which so contrast next to this handsome big fellow.. by the way he's so tame.. Found him in the kitchen floor.. when he did not run i took my camera out and capture him in the morning light.. later after i got what i want i put him somewhere in the grasses hidden from my cats..

using photoscape to brightened, darkened and vignetting.. Have a good week..

cheers, terry

Hi Terry,
Incredible close-up, such an interesting looking creature. I'm trying to work out what it is, but first I need to work out which end its head is! Haha. I like the warm lighting here, the sharpness and focus both look excellent too. Glad you decided to upload this - Good spotting.

TFS,
Scott.

Oh! :) amazing how all the details look perfectly sharp and in focus... clarity is top so is the story, but still don't know the identity of this Giant:) one thing for sure you did a fantastic job here...

Une belle bêbête qui vaut bien le détour pour venir admirer cette prise de vue.
La netteté est splendide et permet une bonne observation des détails.

Missed this one. Sort of resembles a cicada, but I'm not really sure. Impeccable sharpness & dof. Tfs!

Hi Terry,
quite sometimes we did not interact.
This one is very abstract shot with a special effect. But I dont know what effect, only it is attractive and very fascinating presentation. Maybe you have skillfully exploited the light and the close up very well.

Foozi

Hi Terry
Creepy yet wonderful and just a beauty. Great sharpness and wonderful colors.
Cheers
David
