Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well they are probably not really ears but a little poetic license never hurt anyone

Very patient he was too. Didn't move while I went and grabbed the extension tubes to get in closer. All 3 tubes used for this shot.

Mark
Those first two are corkers. And AFAIK they are kinda ears since I think they pick up air vibrations.
And PS You have mail

Very nice shots Mark. Look forward to seeing some of the bug you scared on Saturday.

Great shots Mark ..... mmmmm...... Damo - do you think I could order..... LOL
They aren't actually ears guys  .. more like a 'nose'. This is a male moth, and the feathery antennae are used to pick up pheromones of 'receptive' females that are ready to mate. The antennae have hightly developed species specific chemical receptors. Ain't nature grand !!!!

Mark,
Nice series of macro shots, yet again. I especially like the first one. The sharpness, composition and colours are just great.
Cheers
Michael
