Does yours look like his photo still?

Ok mine looks a bit different for sure, but fairly close. In person mine is quite a bit brighter than I am able to pick up with the camera. My photo does not show photography skills that are "totally epic fantasticness" that's for sure.

mouths are visible on mine, little less so on the top as the heads are closer together. Do wish my colours were as metallic as the first photo.

Its likely that yours looks exactly like the one in the first photo. The first photo was generated by a process called photo stacking. Photos are taken in series gradually focusing from the front of the subject to the back and then the photos are "stacked" on top of each other to generate a single photo. No doubt there was some "enhancement" along the way

Oh that's a cool process, never heard of it! That's how they can get the macro shots and still have focus depth. On macro, my camera has a very shallow depth of focus.

You can definitely still see the mouths on them and a lot of the green faces, but they did end up a little fuller than the pic on the site. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow when the lights come on for you Christy.

Make the aperture a larger number and use a tripod and remote. This will give you a greater depth of field as well.
