Hi Andre
I liked the composition you got with this insect, the colours are vibrant and the POV is very good, I think otherwise that you oversaturated a bit the exposition or the work in a Piture Editor, but in average it's very good,
well done

Hello Andre
Baie mooi. Beautiful capture - great pose.
The composition & POV are excellent, the colours are vivid and well saturated, the DOF is fine, the BG is great, and the exposure was well managed.
Good work and TFS.
