I like your quote, Ina, and find the photo mysterious. What does it show?

@Nishana Minhaz: I don't have a clue what it is! I just thought it looked nice :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Amazing detail and color. It looks like something to clean a bottle. Your quote is so true.

Something went horribly wrong with this caterpillar - if I only could tell what it was! Very interesting capture!

Another super macro out of Krugersdorp!
P.S.: Is the name in honor of Paul Kruger?

Yes, you are right, I will post a statue of him one of these days :)

This furry caterpiller has certainly got himself into a tangle with that web.
The details in this shot are incredible Ina, bravo.

Nice close-up that does a great job of blending out the backgrounds keeping the eyes focused on an interesting creature.

I am really amazed at what you are achieveing with your camera. It should be an inspiration to anyone who doesn't have all the fancy equipment (and I think I've got quite a bit, yet don't quite get what you're getting). Great shot - my macro lens at f/4 wouldn't produce anything like the dof you've got. Well done!

@dobbino: Well thank you Rob! What a lovely compliment :)
I tend to push my camera's to the limit! I think people don't bother to get to know their cameras. Of course you have to have patients! If you take 100 shots and 2 is good, you know you have work to do :)
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
What an interesting shot, technically its perfect. The intrigue around what it is, makes this a wonderfull shot.

@Graham Russon: Thanks Graham! Maybe someone somewhere will give us an explanation :)
standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France

good question. Life, or rather nature can be cruel, but that's life isn't it? Awesome image.
