Thanks for freaking me out.....I can't use the mouse on my keyboard anymore.

When do the shivers stop? Anyone? Anyone?

Great shot...

Have you ever considered multiple shots at different focus areas and then layering them together in Photoshop?

Yes, that is a good suggestion/reminder. I have done it a few times in the past. As you pick up on the depth of field is so small, it gets a bit difficult. I prefer not to use flash, but ma need to invest in a ring flash eventually.

I like this photo...I enjoy how only pieces of it are in focus. It gives it a very unique feel, kinda dream like. Having everything in focus thru multiple exposures would produce a sterile feel.
Great job.

Cheers.

I agree with PT. If it were all in focus, it wouldn't be as interesting. I certainly wouldn't try to quell a unique perspective. So, if you didn't realize it already, I like it :)

Very well done LL.

Nicely done. The balance of color and black along with the hair makes a real creepy crawly image! The out of focus curly antenna makes it not just another 'lab' shot of bug.

I don't like the pink background but it's great otherwise. Very freaky!
