Copepod

[pwnell]

This marine copepod was photographed under five different configurations of polarised lighting using a quarter wave plate and a lambda plate in various combinations. the first one is a stack of 34 images using Helicon Focus. Rest are single images. The last image is not 100% out of camera. I replaced the magenta background with a neutral colour, the rest of the colours are as is.

beautifully turned out, for me, the latter is the best
