Description

Wohoo :)

Yesterday, when I was about to go "home" from the office, my colleague's saw this little creature in the front. I grab my camera and a hat, and took it away from that area to the dry bushes, because he would be someone's foot target there.

He is a little funny fella! I was very close to him because my lens with magnifying glass focuses only at about 3-7cm from the object. I know his tail should be sharper, and up in the air. But I didn't wanted to disturb him more because I wanted a shot. The sun was very low at the horizont and light was low, so I couldn't use smaller aperature.

Have a good day everyone!

Nikon D70s, AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm DX + Magnifying Glass

Nice shot. That's a pity for the strange effect you have in the sand in front of the skorpio's face, probably is the aberration of magnifyng glass.
also the wood stick on the upper part is a bit distracting iMO, but I suppose that you cannot say him to move a bit ;)

Nice shot with an interesting angle. Still pity about the tail. Solutions could be flash (least preferable) or more of a side angle. Nice details in the substrate.

Good work with a magnifying glass!!
I'd try increasing the blacks a bit which might give a bit more contrast to the body and overall scene.

A good capture. In addition to the above suggestions, you might also try cropping some of the distortion from the left side.

great details and colours.
The composition is also very good.
I somehow feel that the scorpion could be a little bit lower on the picture.
