A great image Lorraine, not sure what insect it is but I sat here intrigued if it was caught in the web or not, the seipa on this image works well, great work lovely!

Un traitement très audacieux , un choix que tu as fait, une bonne réussite, contrôle de la mise au point , pour avoir un contrôle d'un champs très réduit.

Mokart from Lodz, Poland
OMG! What the hell is it?! I'm afraid of insects... Don't you sometimes feel like you're being watched by them? ;-) oh, now that i look at it it resembles a mosquito...

@Fliss: Some bibittes never learn...;) thanks Fliss!
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
I know these are the ones that don't bite, but they still give me the creeps. A very good choice to go sepia on this one. I can almost hear their little wings flapping against the window.
21 Aug 2008 10:52am
@Viewfinder: Nicely put Vf, and sorry not Sepia, b&w warmed up, don't ask...;) lol
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Whoa, you were about to 'eat' him and he got scared, Lorraine! (Hee, hee...)
I think about the ankle I shattered a few years ago and wonder how these creatures keep their fragile legs whole!!!
21 Aug 2008 10:55am
@Judy: I don't eat living things, and certainly not if they'll wiggle in my mouth, I shudder lol I know it's amazing that such fragility can co-exist with us, heavy machinery that we are ;)
@sun: Hey thanks a lot Sun, I appreciate it ;)

21 Aug 2008 11:46am
@Mandy Provan: Thanks so much Mandy, I appreciate the lovely compliment...not sepia though, b&w turned warm ;)
Namaki from Bordeaux, France
très belle macro ... le sépia m'a un peu dérangée tout d'abord, mais finalement on s'y fait !
21 Aug 2008 11:50am
@Namaki: Ce n'es tpas tout a fait du sepia, c'est du noir et blanc tourne couleur chaude...c'est inexplicable en realite. merci beaucoup lol
@MJ: Thanks a lot MJ ;)
@laughingwolf: I think it got away...:)

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
That is one long legged fellow. Imagine it walking across your face while you are sleeping.
21 Aug 2008 3:54pm
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks for that image Michael, that should make falling asleep really easy lol you maniac ;)
Stan Pulsar from Strasbourg, France
Very impressive shot !
Sepia was a very good ch... No ! For heaven's sake !
For the 11th time, this is b&w turned warm ! lol
(I'm sparing you some work...)
Well I would've been mistaken too, especially as this is just how you would simulate a sepia effect on a computer : go b&w then add a little magenta and some more yellow...
It was real fun reading the comments and your answers ! ;-)
21 Aug 2008 5:09pm
@Stan Pulsar: Too Funny Stan, you read right through me, after leaving a text to the effect that this was not SEPIA I realised that it bloody well could be and I was showing my flagrant ignorance right there for anyone to see, so you know what happened to that text and of course I wisely stopped saying, this is not sepia. I use to be very intelligent lol Thanks so much for the laugh ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
A stunning macro mon amie - looks like a mating pair of mosquitoes. Love the processing which is NOT sepia LOL
21 Aug 2008 5:18pm
@Janice Thomson: which could be though my dear friend, I whisper softly...lol thanks Janice I'm loosing it ;)

21 Aug 2008 5:55pm
@alex centrella: Thanks a lot Alex, I appreciate it :)
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Did it really step or got it stuck, the poor thing! Reminds me of a picture I made last week of those insects walking over the water, we call them skaters, only it wasn't crisp enough to meet my self-imposed posting standards, yours is far more fascinating and clearer!
21 Aug 2008 6:50pm
@Illuci: I'll tell you my secret Erik, I have no self-imposed standards, I have no technical savvy, I don't particularly care if a photo will be popular or not, I just ADORE talking photos and then seeing if I managed to capture something interesting. See, i have no Ego...chances are good that my hand won't shake 'cause I dont' care...I do love my camera though, thanks so much!
Ras from Plano, United States
I guess mosquito is about to have its blood drained soon. Now that's Karma.
21 Aug 2008 7:20pm

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
J'ai l'impression qu'il s'agit d'un accouplement. Excellente nettete sur l'insecte et ses fines pattes.
21 Aug 2008 11:42pm
