Shot on the Fuji xt5. Lens is the Laowa 65mm macro
1/125 sec f5.6 or 8 (no comms between lens and camera) iso 200

This might be considered blasphemy in the macro world, but I have no idea what this bug is called, or really most others that I’ve taken pictures of. But moving on, I chose this picture because I love the iridescent wings along with the 3 dimensional feel of it. This is a single image, I have yet to develop the skill to focus stack and have it come out nice. I of course have messed with colors, brightness, saturation etc. that being said, I did not crank the vibrance/saturation as much as you may think. The bigger part of my editing was treating this image more like it was a landscape which I think helps it stand out in its own way
