Nicely done photo. Great B/W Conversion which seems to accentuate the different textures here. Very nice shot. Bill B

Nice macro, Carlos...I esp like your capture of the mix of "micro" textures on many parts of this subject. Good background contrast too. Nice photo. MFC

Cool butterfly close-up! I love the soft texture.

Thanks to all for the comments :-)
Ann, I used a +7 Diopter plus the Olympus TCON-14B. The subject is a living one: it is an owl butterfly (closely related to the beautiful Morpho Peleides) and this specimen was about 6 inches from head to tip of the closed wings... they are so very peaceful that you can even touch them (gently) and they won't go away.

This is great Carlos. Wonderful macro - did you use any close up lenses, and was your subject living?
Either way, it is fabulous, great detail, enhanced I think by your choice of b & w - almost like an electromicrograph.
