The Beast guarding its Beauty.

Just for fun, I've also processed it in a darker version.

Yes, here's another one taken with the fisheye lens:

And this one was taken with a standard (50mm equiavalent) lens (the Q01 prime 8.5mm), but I find it less "in your face" than the ones with the fisheye:

Which one do you prefer ? Am I right finding that the one in the original post is the best of the bunch ?

I'm sorry to be indecisive, but I like both - I'd be happy to have either of them in my collection.

What an awesome shot! I think I prefer the last, but the first is very close. The bug is fascinating but the flower itself would be a great shot.
