Arrrgh so hard to choose!!!!!
here are a few shots on my short list... I might change my OP....
Yes I have shopped somewhat....only saturation, levels etc and a lot of dust spots!!!!! Me thinks I need to get my sensor cleaned after my last adventure ( thats another story!)
I took about 100 shots of which I deleted 3/4's. Still learning....
Focusing was the hardest part,

PS
1st pic reminds me of "Aliens" the movie. (and an embryo to the center right)
2nd pic ...praying mantis to the left of center...
3rd pic side on caricature face....large nose, very large chin facing left. Very 3d I thought. Its amazing what a few tweaks in ps can do to a pic.... yet I cant get some of the basics.....I'll keep trying
;)
