Hi Kevin,
This Korean cicada has fresh green colors, not like spanish ones that are "dried" colors. Excellent deatils, pov and composition.

Hello Kevin,
this is an excellent close-up of the cicada with great sharpness and depth of field. Colours, details and light are superb. Appropriate non-disturbing background. Without the braod black frame the entire insect could have been shown - you cut the wing-tips.
Best wishes, Peter

The best ever picture of a Cicada on TN, Kevin.
Even the human eye cannot see the details so clearly.
Superb POV, DOF, and perfectly natural colors.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic image.

Hello Kevin,
This is an excellent presentation of this cicada, sharp, good DOF and lighting.
I like the venation on the wings.
Interesting to see what look like small red accessory eyes on the forehead.
TFS, best wishes, Ivan

Dear Kevin,
this is extraordinary. Cicadas are shy and I have never seen them suck although they spray you with a liquid when leaving. And you caught it in the act, with that wonderful light and the focus all over the animal. Great! And thanks for the commentary.
Cheers, Dietrich

Hi Kevin

Another excellent macro from you!
This is indeed a very interesting adn beautiful species.
I really like the sharpness of the details here and the DOF - with every aspect of the insect in full focus.
Also the colors are lovely, the POV is great and the framing very nice.
The only nit here is the clipping of the wings...that would have made an impecable composition...but it's very nice this way too ;)

Bravo and TFS

Hi Kevin.
You have shared amazing close-up macro shot. Extremely well detailed, sharp, perfect illuminated and composed picture. DOF is selected nicely. The whole insect is in focus and BG is excellent shadowed, colourful and blurred. BRAVo. Perfect done.

Hi Kevin,
Nice shot of this cicada. Great sharpness, neat bluury BG. It seems that light intensity was quite high at time picture was captured.
Nicely cropped, well composed picture, nice frame.

Your insect's pictures are always amazing!!! This is so sharp with excellent details and exposure. I never saw this insect from so close; looks like you are using a telescope or something :) This is really well done with great POV, composition and colors. Thanks,

Hi again!
And again fantastic macro with very good details and beautiful colours! The only thing I do not like in this photo is the fact that the wings are cutted here...
Anyway, very good presentation!
