Critiques [Translate]

the focus and clarity are simply stunning! i love the alignment on the right side!

too bad this hasn't gotten more critiques
-Bartek

Is it just me or are the eyes a bit unfocused? I also light the rightside alignment, and the focus on the mouth is great.

Praying Mantis
From whence arrived the praying mantis?
From outer space, or lost Atlantis?
I glimpse the grim, green metal mug
That masks this pseudo-saintly bug,
Orthopterous, also carnivorous,
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.

—Ogden Nash, from Custard and Company

Your macro-shot illustrates Nash's poem nicely! Tfs, Jay

PS How about some notes? ;)
