A really nice job -- not only the photographic aspects, but you captured its "personality" as well.

Follow-up question: How did you manage to "fade-out" the background so perfectly?

Great use of dof to concentrate our attention on the face of the green alien. I wonder did you use a tripod?

By the way, your bug is some species of "green stink bug" -- probably of either the genus Arvelius or Thyanta (thanks to the website "bugguide.net" -- see here and here).

A captivating bug macro - stinkbug family for certain - when seen up close like this ( and you got the details perfectly ) they are so interesting. People think bugs are just bugs - but they are little works of art each one in their own way. This is a keeper!

This is such an amazing macro...the details are so great. I absolutely love the black specs on this thing's back. The bright green looks great against the rest of the scene too and the DOF is spot on! Very very well done and right into the favs!!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
