Love "hunting" these with my camera.

Wanted to approach it in a artistic way, something i find very hard with insects, so i tried not to get to close, so the surroundings would be a vital part of the photo.

Underexposed it by -1 in the camera, to make sure no areas where to bright/blown out.

Had to use some time in photoshop with this one.
Shadow recovery, grain removal, curves , selective blur and selective sharpen, crop to square. Resize using bicubic.
I only wanted it to look as close to reality as possible. No crazy color changes on this one.

Thats about it, any question or feedback is very appreciated.

The states of awareness we currently perceive are only a thiny fraction of the whole.
The continuum extends deep into nonphysical areas of the universe far beyond our current physical comprehension
