These shots, took me in far too long to get. The little git would not stand still!

Great attempt, poor Woody, maybe he was camera shy!!

[Fanny Brogden]

like the look of this composition, it's colours esp. the eye looks well weird!

[Maggiemae]

Thanks for the descriptions - I would never have recognised these parts of a woody!

[Yvonne]

Seriously, that is his eye. Wow!!!

[Hazel A]

Excellent macro. Hope you put him back into his woodpile when you finished with him

[Pam Knowler]

Great macro!!

Eeek! There are reasons why they are the size they are.... Their appearance is one! Cheers, but can't go past the fact that this is awesome macro work - Well done Bulldog ;)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Woody is kind of scary looking. Great macros, though. :)

[Sheila Coates]

Amazing detail - you set the bar high!

[Jo]

Wow, thats really clever. There are plenty of other crawly things to now discover!

[Leonie Mogridge]

"Cute little eye"? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....
Good macro shots though.

[❀ Lynn]

Wow, pretty amazing piece of kit!

I love the use of the word "git" - it's not one that's in normal usage in America English, but it just fits so many places. . .this one in particular!

You are brave....can't stand creepy crawlies. I would need a zoom lens to get that close lol. However a really cool macro...the photos are amazing.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Wow. Your really got close in to Woody. Good macro shots. I don't think Woody wanted to have his pictures taken.

Brilliant Bulldog, I find this fascinating! Reminds me of the first time I used my childhood microscope and focussed in on a nettle's sting - just amazing! This is much more interesting. The eye is a revelation, multi-faceted like a fly, the detail is incredible. Great present Mrs Bulldog!!

[Mike]

Looks like you need a cleaner!

[Katia]

fantastic collage!!! :) the eye is incredible!

[Deb]

I like the macro shots!

[Cally]

Great work! Looks like you are really enjoying your microscope!

When I was trying to take pics of a tick one time, I tried holding it with tweezers in the air, but I couldn't keep the hand holding the tweezers AND the one holding the camera steady enough for the lighting situation. Did you consider holding him still with tweezers?
