Hallo Marie Christine,
Prachtige opname van deze kommazwever. Bijzonder scherpe macro in erg mooie kleuren. De gele boterbloem geeft een mooi contrast als achtergrond. Goede compositie.
Groet,
Peter

Hola Marie, buen macro, bonita composición agradables tonos de color, respecto a la luz quizá hemos perdido algun detalle por las zonas brillantes(particularmente cuando puedo, intento hacer sombra con el cuerpo, si el insecto lo permite). Un saludo

Hi Mariki, splendid hoverfly with fantastic colors, perfect focus, fine details and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hallo Mariki
A well composed image with good and clear details. I especially find the eyes very eye-catching in this image, and the different layers of colours on the body are really stunning. Well framed and pleasantly presented. Trek Nature is indeed a very motivating and most educational site. Not a day passes that I don't see or learn something new or a image comes along that refresh my memory of something I have seen some time ago. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards

Hello Marie, you do have some good insect shots - they are usually too hard for me. . . Too small and too fast!

Well done on your hoverfly - he is so nice and sharp, good colours and sharp details. And the buttercup is pretty too.
