Is this too far...

In what direction?

[artmar]

Looks good. Maybe a little more sharpening and color variation?

[Tildy]

Well, it doesn't look 'natural' (neither does Art's version), but I don't think that's what you were going for. To me it looks a bit too unnatural.

[artmar]

I don't know what a standard for "looking natural" is when viewing an insect at this high level of magnification, unless you're an entomologist perhaps.

i think this is clearly a bit unnatural to start with. I guess the question is how unnatural. I think both work but i like the drama of Art's version
