Against a background of absolutely no experience of macro photography, that appears to me to be a stunning image. I would be chuffed to bits to have produced it.

I'm sure he IS chuffed with it. It's a little masterpiece.

Superb, as usual. I particularly like the unsymmetrical details - antennae, rear legs - which (to me) say that this is a real insect not just an illustration.

The photostacking has worked perfectly, wonderful image! The corpse shows no sign of deterioration that one can see; it can't have been dead long. Well done!
