Stunning image Nikola!

The wings in particular show amazingly delicate detail. The venation is beautifully defined and well worth taking a few minutes to carefully examine - the leading and trailing edges really show remarkable detail. The segments of the abdomen visible through the wing nicely accentuates the transparency too.

Rik gave details of a neat little HTML trick that does away with the gaps between the panels. Just place {SIZE=0} before the first {IMG} of pic1 and {/SIZE} after the last {/IMG} of pic3. Replace curly brackets {} with square brackets [] of course.

Thanks Bruce!

I've posted it from Opera browser. Didn't see any gap.

Insects are hard to shoot sometimes. A very good job of...stitching

? Appears a little hot in places or maybe just a bright image, all a matter of taste I suppose. Overall I would say that you did a good job on this Nikola, very nice.

Very incredible photo Nikola. You did an amazing job on the rework...very creative. I like The bright highlights on the wings and the hairs.
