Sep 15, 2010		     Many congrats Old Finn! well deserved, a superb macro no doubt :)
Lo
Sep 14, 2010		     Well done - I'm glad you explained how you did it - it explains why the droplets are on a misty background.

Sep 14, 2010		     This was my no. 1 pick. A fine image technically and for the challenge. Superb example of b&w.

Sep 13, 2010		     Maybe a bit grainy for a macro but that even works well in BW, stunning detail on the bug and very original background... TT among a great competence, well done! :-)

Sep 13, 2010		     I am drawn to the almost x-ray like quality of this shot. Great visual interest. In my TT.

Sep 13, 2010		     Well, my first time seeing a bug on ice. I assume it is alive and voluntarily took the chill, right? Though an unpleasant subject to me, the photo itself is superb. There is a little fuzziness on the rear legs, but not a big deal to me. The water droplets really add to this bug shot.

Sep 12, 2010		     Fantastic shot. Love everything about it.

Sep 12, 2010		     There are situations where B&W is by far the best choice for a photo - and I think this is one of them - There is nothing distracting me from the detail in the fly, and the beautiful pattern of the droplets.

Sep 11, 2010		     Thanks for the nice comments! I donīt know, what it is, it was about 20 millimeters from nose to tail. Iīll send a bigger pic in colours to the forum.

Sep 11, 2010		     I'd love to see this bigger. Wonderful image. I feel a high finish is certain.

Sep 10, 2010		     Other "better" images all had, in my view, technical flaws or were obviously more suitably presented as colour images. This one appears flawless and while it may well look better in colour, I cannot identify the insect. By process of elimination, it ends up tentatively as my top pick.

Sep 10, 2010		     Incredible! My #1
Old Finn
Sep 10, 2010		     Thanks SeveBee. Not staged. A plastic bag of ice cubes was left on the ground for melting. Then I saw the insect on the bag and it didnīt bother of me trying to get near of it with my camera. Maybe its temperature was low and made itīs reactions slow.

Sep 9, 2010		     Great image -- not sure if is staged or not, but doesn't matter. A top contender for sure. Good luck!
