Cool mix of photos and CG.
Beautiful, talented work.
I can hardly wrestle a gold bezel and a simple stone out of my design box.
Thanks for posting. I love good insect pics.

what CG

12, 13, 15, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31 look *touched* to my eye.
Of coarse, I could be way off as to how a skilled photographer could capture insect life.
And I know those clever Russians take incredible pictures. I have two of the best books ever published of photos of engraved gems from The Hermitage. Nothing else compares.
So maybe these pics are sooo good and I've been looking at CG tooo long that I have no clue.
I love the one my wife and I call The Catapillar Buddha.
And the Praying Mantis ones are incredible. Their cousins in my garden are embarrassed they look so plain.

come on you can't call this CG! It's photography wheather you touch up in the dark room or in photoshop.
