not colourful enough, if more colors are added, will be better.

Agreed, a colourful bug will do the job...

Good PS skill

cool, looks like it painted.

fengwei · 5th August 2005

Seems your PS skill improved a lot too

I thought you caught the bug, then froze it in a refrig ice tank to get that result

Well done James.

Thanks melvyn, Drudkh and fengwei...

Below is the actual Golden Beetle taken in SBG but the ice cube photo is a 3D effect... and this is why making the whole photo look kind of unreal.

This would look fabulous in a clear mixer drink! Maybe a gin-tonic or vodka-tonic.

Some shadows, reflections and the melted ice would make it real. The edges and corners are too sharp. Well done James, didnt see you for quite sometime, how are you doing?
