Hello Fartash,
Your specialization in macro photography has reached a fairly high standard now.
The Jewel Bug is a very colourful bug as its name suggests.
However, it is the way you have captured the macro that makes this image a real pleasure to look at.
Well done and TFS.

This little Bug is amazing, he looks as though he's tough. The name is very apt as it does look like a jewel with that colourful sheen. Great POV with good light and sharpness.

I like a lot the composition. The image is really perfect in all senses.

Fartash this is just magnificent!

To think that this guy is probably the size of my thumb nail and to see him filling up my screen is highly impressive. Wonderful detail obvious across the body and those iridescent colours are out of this world. Interesting viewpoint looking straight down on what must be a birds eye view - though I can't imagine any birds eating this fiery looking chap!

Great work,
TFS

Hi Fartash

Splendid macro work in capturing this amazingly beautiful beetle!
Now wonder it's called JewelBug! Its mettalic reflections are indeed fantastic and are i guess eye-catching to everyone :)
The details here are superb and very sharp, the DOF is impeccable and the diagonal composition is wonderful!
This really is an outstanding work overall! My congratulations!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Fartash,

1) the metalic colours are lovely; the bronze of the bug versus the greenish b/g
2) the details of the bug are excellent.
3) too bad we have a bit of a flashback < any shots in natural light?>

Amazing to see how the legs function < clinging!!! >

I see similarly shaped bugs here, but they are a drab brown or brownish grey... Tfs, Jay.

Only one "unless" perhps i tried to focused upper, in head, not in legs and margins. But the bugs were fast and hurry for thinking all this, in just one second sometimes!

Thanks ! good job!
