Good depth of field with clear individual concepts, and I see the small details that influence big on co-existence of many impactful contents.

This is a really good piece of work that you have achieved. The details in all the places are excellent. What is really interesting is the way lights captured.

Comment from Miki Ohno


Beautiful colors and the composition caught my eyes but I wasn't quite sure what they were until opening the reviewing page. Usually I would feel creepy to see many insects gathering, but they look beautiful in your photo. Your helpful note is also admirable. This is amazing that each locust seems as if posing for you. It reminds me of an elaborate accessory in the Art Nouveau Era. I think the unique color composition and the background shading made it even more special. Thank you for sharing.

With the mix of colours and black and white you have created a multidimentional piece, forcing the viewer to look in many directions. I love this image from a colour stand point and a rythm and point.

This is a rather nice capture of fascinating subject presenting. You did get a perfect clarity here with sharp focus and compositional excellence.

Comment from Nelia


Cleo, this is incredibly striking! The combination of the black and white and colour makes this so unque. Somehow, u have taken some really creepy locusts and made them look beautiful! I always admire your creativity with digital medium, I am so envious! Super stuff!

    Thank you so much Nelia, These creepy creatures are beautiful if you look at them without knowing the danger. Its just the damage they do what makes them looking 'ugly' in our eyes.

Nice capture! I enjoyed the notes provided. I like the selective coloring of the piece. As noted the lighting is rather harsh and causes some image details to suffer. ( looks blurred)
