This is a close-up of an animal about three inches long, but curled up, I think this is a macro shot.

Pete D.

This isn't a super high magnification photograph. That is why is said the the animal is thre inches long. I thought twice about posting in in the Macro forum because it is "Ortonized."

Color, contrast, composition, cropping to a square and the curled up centipede all work really well here. Nicely done.

Thanks for posting! :toast:

What detail you've captured here and its color is captivating. May I suggest that you darken the background just a little to focus even more attention on the centipede?
