There's a lot of noise in those wings mate...
When you cut and past you really ought to balance the noise in the
background with the pic you put over it.

Nice. Maybe a touch more dof would have helped - but having dabbled in
macros, I know how hard it is to get these images right.

And (not that I should dignify a Douglas post with any cred) if that's
a cut and paste, I'll eat my hat.. and congratulate you, Annika for the
*brilliant* way you have handled the blurred edges. A true master of
PS!!

I dearly hope he isn't suggesting the noise is that stippled pattern on
its wings (although it wouldn't surprise me.) - as far as I can see, it
has very low levels of noise and it is consistent across the image.

By the way, did you use freeze spray? (O;

(Ask Mark2 why that question...)

There is an old saying that applies here.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth
and remove all doubt."

Please show me where all the noise is.
I won't even address your "cut and paste" allegations since they are a
figment of your imagination, born in jealousy, no doubt.

Clean your monitor! What you see is your dust.

LOL!

The Canon 50mm f/1.2L .... bokeh so creamy you can drink it!

Admit it, Rita.
You would love to drink the creamy bokeh from the Canon 50 f/1.2L.
