I also have a high res stereo version of this beast, see http://www.janrik.net/insects/ExtendedD ... reoDE.html and load StereoPhoto Maker as described there.

Yes, well :D . Beautiful shot and technique. Reminds me of some of Charley's work. AMAZING details and great stacking. Impressive lighting to hold the soft details Rik. I was at another site recently and I'm sure your site was linked. I think thats where I've spotted you before.

Well a big welcome and this is beautiful work IMHO.

Wow, now that's a compliment! His stuff is awesome.

Glad you like the butterfly. I've been looking at these critters through microscopes for years, waiting for image processing to get good enough to do the stacking. And now it's here -- this is very cool technology!

PS. This forum is a nice place -- thanks for putting it together!
