Stunning photos Yousef - really good work! It must have been difficult to balance the colour and brightness with all that silvery facial dusting. What sort of setup did you use?

superbe. It would also be great to see a crosseyed 3d. Did you have to do a lot of editing of the stack?

I could stare at the swirls of perceived patterns in the creature's eyes for quite some time. For whatever reasons, they really do captivate me, almost in a hypnotic fashion.

Enjoyable lighting and colors, too.

I have just set the first as my desktop at work, if you do happen to have a crosseyed sterio version at somepoint it does not bode well for future working performance ;).

Eric
Thank you Eric :)

ChrisRaper
Thanks Chris. As you said, it was difficult for me to handle all the refelected/difussed light in between the hairs. My equipments were as the following:
- Canon 60D
- MP-E65
- MT24ex
- Stackshot
- & some DIY setup for holding the insect which is a very very basic one since i'm lacking a lot of items at current time! :oops:
