    1. I love it when people have an explicit style. You have it, and Lars has it. Two completely different takes on a similar subject, and such a wildly different result. I love both styles.

      @Lars: Felix is known for his silky soft beautiful insect and plant macros, you really should check out his profile.

    2. Thanks a lot Felix.
      I like it with a more darkened background to get a better focus on the species.
      Though I keep the natural colors as much as possible in order to show nature as it is.

      1. Yep, the darkened background truly enhances the subject. The color balance and saturation are also spot on, and work perfectly. Great work, Lars! cheers* Posted 7 years ago
