  Yes, Ferdy.
  You did mentioned in another comment about not taking close-up of Phasmids.
  Try to do that, not just macro, but also super-macro the next time you see a Phasmid and you might be surprised to see some amazing details :D Posted 8 years ago

    That would be really special. I think they are little photographed in general, and even less in macro mode :) Posted 8 years ago

      Yes, most macro photographer does not have great interest with Stick Insect as the main subject because of their size or length which makes them a difficult macro subject. But focusing on key areas like just the face portrait can make an interesting subject too. Posted 8 years ago

  Thanks, Doris :)
  It is on this rare occasions that we can say its a beauty despite having so many 'pimples' on its face :D Posted 8 years ago
