I thought these were the best photos, but I have also the right side and back side. But wrong macro setting - only zoom x 1 or 2 instead of 3. And this thing was so small. Thanks so much!

Love the long antenna! It's great you took 360• images so people can ID the subject! I wish more people did that rather than just one pic they think is artistic looking and only a face is visible. :-)
