Wow! What an impressive shot, Chris!
The POV on this one is simply outstanding! Great fromtal look! ;)
Excellent shapness too, along the entire length on the insect, due to the impecable DOF chosen.
Very well maneged exposure, too, resulting in very lovely natural colors and tones.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS

Excelente POV Chris con gran agudeza e iluminación, perfecto fondo difuso a partir de un ajustado DOF que además brinda un foco muy bueno.
Me encantan los detalles de los ojos de este insecto.
El encuadre es algo alto, pero es sólo mi punto de vista.
Una interesante macro.
Un gran saludo... Ricardo

Excellent POV Chris with great sharpness and illumination, perfect diffuse bottom starting from an adjusted DOF that also offers a very good focus.
I love details of the eyes of this insect.
The framing is something high, but it is only my point of view.
An interesting macro.
My best greetings... Ricardo

Nice portrait and compo. In my opinion, it have abit blured and you should change something:
Crop more on top of pic, sharpening abit and change another frame.
But dont pay attention to my crazy ideas much.
TFS.

Hello Chris,
This is a fine shot of this giant fly, sharp and with fine BG. I can understand your frustration about the ID and I feel sad that I can't help.
TFS it anyway,
Regards, Ivan

Hello Chris,
a stunning close-up of this fly. Nice frontal point of view with great contrast of the fly's outlines against the non-disturbing background.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Chris,
this fly looks huge, is it that big or does this superp POV give it that illusion? Great macro,, details, colors and sharpness are excellent. Great OOF BG that shows off this bug very well.

Recomendo que você visite o site http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/misc/bees/xylocopa.htm especifico sobre a carpenter bee. O ângulo da foto não favorece a identificação porque os tons amarelados do torax da carpenter não estão visíveis.
Magnífica foto! A máquina é excelente!
Um abraço
