Wow, a very pinpointed DOF job. Did you do any extra blurring with PS at all? This photo seems to emphasize the texture of the wing, as if it were the tapestry and the insect is unimportant.

@Evelyn: No, I didn't do any extra blurring with PS. I wanted to emphasize the details of the wing structure.

Balpa from Ravenna, Italy

Great details and DOF.

This pic makes me think of the old horror movies in the 50's where insects grow to an astronomical size and wreak havoc. Cool shot! ;-)

Like your selective focussing and DOF. The detail on the wings is great
