Hi Didier,
Very nice shot. Dark and moody, but I really like it. Nice frame filling composition. Great detail, and I love the dark backround.

Superbe composition Didier, une couleur impecable. Le moins ce sont peut etre les reflets mais je pense que dans ce cas ils sont necessaires, ils donnent du relief a l'insecte. Salut

Una interesante composición Didier con gran contraste y fuertes tonos, dentro de un ambiente intimista.
Excelente POV con nitidez y buen uso de la luz, a pesar del reflejo que produce el insecto.
Buen trabajo.

An interesting composition Didier with great contrast and strong tones, inside an intimate ambient.
Excellent POV with clarity and good use of the light, even though of the reflex that produces the insect.
Good work.

Hi Didier,
very beautiful iconic presentation, lovely colours!
Maybe bright spots of flash reflections could be slightly dimmed in postwork.
Where do you find so many beautiful stag beetles my friend? I think you must have been very lucky to find a living one in good shape that late in the year as August 25.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter
