I love the last shot with a butterfly in hand reaching out and then the big “Share it!” below it. Great work, man!

The photographs are wonderful Nice collection

Great Post, Good Collection. Have you got some more like this? Shared this article at PageMEME.COM ! Keep up with the Good Work!

Some of those photos are amazing. But sadly this list loses imho a lot of its brilliance through some other photos that really aren’t beautiful. They are out of focus, the light’s really bad or the background just doesn’t work. If I had taken them, I wouldn’t even have published them – except for showing what went wrong.

The world of insect is beautiful under the macro lense. Good sharing :D

Beautiful Series, thanks!

Those are some very interesting insect shots. Please check out the winning results from the 2008 International Insect Salon.

I agree with bee. Some of the photos in this list could have been taken much better. Shooting macro photos is an art and not everyone can master it easily. The equipment, lighting used etc plays a major role.

For instance, in one of the dragonflies (dragonfly-5895500.jpg) shots, the tip of the tail end is cropped. Similarly, tinyredcricket.jpg , the tips of the antennas are cropped. IMO, that would fall under shots that went wrong. In the photo of the inset (Insect-15613220.jpg) there is more focus on the flower rather than the inset.

Overall, it a good attempt.
Here is one site that I came across. It has some beautiful butterfly pictures. Most of them are captured.

The picture of all insect are eye catching and attractive to the more close to natural animal. Where do you dig out them ?

Yeah, micro photography is not a easy job to shooting the attractive picture.

Absolutely stunning! Macro photography allows you to see things you can’t see with a naked eye. That’s why those photos are so appealing to the rest of us. Nice collection!

Some great shots (beautifully composed) but quite a few that are poorly focussed or where the DoF has missed the the best part of the subject or a quick image stack would have helped.

Have a look at Lord V’s insect shots on flickr (he’s both prolific and inspirational) or any of the insect macro groups on there.
