A fisheye lens is just the tool to show those l-o-o-o-ng antennae - fine image.

Hi

I love the point of view - but would ideally wish for more DOF, frontal that is


All the best
Matthew

Awesome, Kevin. Looks as if we are seeing the perspective through the eyes of that large beetle. Very nice and different.
