Amazing detail Brian,

Stacked or just very good choice of point of focus, DoF and subject angle relative to sensor?

Nice clean composition too.

Well done, Dave

[Wavelength]

Very nice

No doubt about that one; definitely a grasshopper species.

Plenty of good fine head detail.

[Shadowman]

Nice shot.

a bit of everything.
ISO 100 ~ F/16 ~ 1.3s ~ Natural Light
one shot cloned and then processed to emphasize different areas
2 frame stack
final touches in Gimp

What made it all work was being able to shoot with a slow shutter with nicely reflected light

I am constantly amazed at capturing what I can't see. Experience teaches that it's there but I'm never sure that I've got it till I'm at the computer.
