[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Lady Beatle was the only one that would sit still. It was so low to the ground it was hard to get a shot looking straight at it.

Very nice close-up, good colours. Perhaps a little too tightly cropped for my taste..

Hi Matt,
Great closeup, I like it. Very sharp and detailed, very nice color and green BG..
I like the tight framing and head-down comp. also. To nit pick :) I would have removed your flash spots on the black parts..
Well done!

Hi Matthew
Nice macro shot. colourfuk and beautiful.
Well done

To make such macro with a flash, you need to use one or the other method to spread the light. It comes here from one single source point. Consequently, the shadow under the head is too strong, and the details in the head are lost.
Anyway, nice point of view. Great colors. TFS
