[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Squash Bug.
The squash bugs are closely related to the shieldbugs, and similar in many respects. This species is one of the largest, with particularly long antennae, which often get broken early in its life. It can occur on a wide variety of food plants, all in the dock family (including rhubarb), so it occurs in a correspondingly wide variety of habitats such as gardens,wood margins, rough pastures and elsewhere. It is widespread and abundant over much of central and southern Europe, but rare in the north.

The photo has cropid and resised for TN.
+5 saturation and sharpen with PS. Remove the noise with Noiseware.

Bardzo ładne kolory, dobra ostrość
Dobra robota Nikos

Great macro shot, well composed, perfect DOF

Very good macro, Nikos.
Great details, nice colours and good POV.
I'm not sure about the composition. IMO is it little too much space to the left, but thats me.
Very well done.
