Victor, Wow - this bug has all the colors of the rainbow! This is really an attractive subject, and an excellent photo. I like the composition, the sharp focus on the main subject, the appropriate blurring in the background, and the angle and position of the beetle -- looking right at the camera. Very well seen and captured!

We posted the same subject simultaneously, Victor.
Thanks for your positive critique on mine; I reciprocate with the same sentiments regarding your picture of a Jewel Bug. It is simply wonderful. The subject is the same, but both of us have interpreted it in our own ways.
You have utilized the mellow light to great benefit here. The details and colours are just great.
Thanks and all the best.

Victor,

I think this is one of the most colourful and striking pics on TN! I like the sharpness and detail shown of the subject. The lighting from the side that just catches the subject is also great. Your POV, DOF and BG are all technically good and add to the quality of the image.
TFS,
Sheriff

One more great shot from you Victor!
great colours and composition. Very nice detail and dof

Hi Victor,
Excellent image, very sharp and with a correct composition. I like the awesome iridiscent colours of this tiny creature as well.
Regards
Hernán

Hello Victor,
Incredible subject and very nicely taken as I like the angle of the stage setting and the nice yellow green backdrop. The iridescence of the beetle has been captured with little distraction of contrast issues. Well done.
Paul :)
