Macro Fatal Attraction...

well, not really(no animals were harmed in this photo shoot!)

However, this damselfly seemed to be enthralled with my camera lens. He stayed put while I took a 24 shot focus stack. I ended up using only 14 of them and blended them in Photoshop. The resulting TIFF file was 2.6 GB. Anyway, it was a fun way to burn some time on my Sunday.

An amazing shot. Fantastic detail. This could be straight out of a horror movie.

I have a different one word response - OUCH! As in, that is too SHARP. Great Work.

That's quite an image... that long you should've been on first name terms.

Looks like it wants to give you a smooch! Great work! Definitely worth the time you spent stacking.
