i was lucky for once with the lady beetle -
the same as here, but in a different composition and pov.
it looks like one of the "asian imports" and not the "normal" 7 pointer.

Super Makro, schön scharf und sooo nahe, toll.
Ich mag die warmen Farben sehr. Bin nach ausgiebigem Sonnenbad jetzt total aufgehitzt wieder im Haus und kühle mich bei TN ein wenig ab. Gerade flog eine große Mosaikjungfer durch den Garten, aber leider setzen die sich ja nie hin, schade, würde sie gerne mal von der Nähe sehen. Schönen Abend

I'm glad this little "import" was on the stalk and not one you -- they bite/pinch hard!
This is a superb composition, with great colours, DOV and DOF. An excellent macro from start to finish
Best regards

Hi Thorsten,
this is a very nice cloe-up picture.
Lovely colours, well composed and good DOF, but I think it could been a bit sharper, maybe any kind of support had helped.
Well done.

There are many shots of Ladybird on TN. But yours differs from others a very elegant colour palette. With great sharpness, details, DOF, POV all of these components of photo create a very amazing impression. TFS.

Hi Thor,
This is a beautiful shot, the rich warm colours and light are amazing. Great detail, I like the crop/format a lot and perfect composition. I think perhaps the DOF is a little shallow, but just my opinion. Excellent work!

Adrian

Excelente macro Thorsten con gran nitidez y colorido.
Estos insectos siempre difíciles de retratar, con adecuado DOF se aprecia perfectamente, incluso por un fondo limpio que realza aun más la mariquita.
Saludos... Ricardo

Excellent macro Thorsten with great sharpness and coloring.
These insects always difficult to portray, with appropriate DOF is appreciated perfectly, even for a clean bottom that it even enhances more the lady beetle.

Hey,
this is a great photo. Love the colors and sharpness!
About the kingfishers hibernation: you can hibernate every bird who has long wings and short legs. I only tryed with the kingfisher, but one guy told me that it can be done with Riparia riparia too.
