I love this!!! Beautiful work, I just bought a 100mm Canon macro lens. Will it be able to do this?

Thank you Hermina! I have not used that lens. The key to this shot is the focus stacking.

That is an amazing photo! Although, all I can think of is "Samantha?". Disney fans?

This reminds me of a photo my dad took of a grasshopper in the 1970s when we lived in Panama. Very impressive!❤️

Thank you Michael - I found the leaf in my yard and placed the damselfly behind the leaf and this happened. I took about 50 shots to do a focus stack. He moved around so much, that the stack had to be done manually in PS.

Priceless capture of clarity and theme. Subject looks just as surprised to see the other end of its meal
