Thanks Bernard :) I went ahead and updated this post with a recompressed photo, if that's ok with you. Since you now have two versions of this photo in the gallery. Please go ahead and choose one you like best. You can delete one yourself or just say the word.

Hi pril :)

No worries about it.
I checked out the new post. Pitty you had to resize the image so much. A lot of the great detail is lost. I also see how this one is a tough one to recompress without resizing. I had to compress this one to 26% quality for it to fit, but you know it still looked pretty good. I couldn't tell the difference if I where not viewing them side by side. Have a look:http://k.1asphost.com/TechoEP/CTF_Pril.htm

oh and btw,the screen capture was using around 55% compression/quality setting so it too should look worse, but looks pretty good.

Sorry Techo for being careless with the file size, I've rectified it with a new resized entry. Thanks.

p.s. If you can please recompress this pic to under the 150kb file size challenge rules. Please see this thread for more infohttp://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message=21306989
Thanks!

Great macro shot. This image plays a little trick on the eyes, at first it looks like a lobster shaped silouhuette is sitting on the other side of the leaf, look closer and it's a fly sitting right on top. I especially like the detail captured in the leif's veins. You could try lightening up the fly just a bit, so more detail of it is visible, but not too much.
