Yipes! This is so very cool, not only the eyes but the hairs on the legs are so crisp. It looks like how helicoptors were designed.

30,000 lenses? I didn't know that either! You picked an ideal shot for the 'eyes' theme, then.

It's another superb shot - I'm in awe of the great detail you captured. Amazing...
