Hi Marie,
A lovely capture of this beautiful weevils mating. I do have taken some shots of a similar species shall post it someday. A very nice composition and sharp details. Also these things are pretty shy. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Marie
Amazing moment very well captured. Excellent sharpness and vivid colours

Hi Marie

Good shot of these lovely green weevils. The male needs a bit more practice I think :).
Good sharpness and composition.

Bonsoir Marie-Christine,
Une image bien colorée et au sujet bien mignon. J'aime bien ces petites bestioles que je vois souvent sur des marguerites. Très beau le rose et le beau vert des charançons qui font un alliage de couleur superbe, le tout uni par le jaune de la fleur.
Bonne soirée. (Nous avons la ville pleine de Hollandais, de l'orange partout dans les rues. Mais très pacifiques ces gens. Nous sommes ravis)

Spettacolare macro, bellissimo il taglio compositivo rovesciato e il giallo di questo fiore che crea un magnifico sfondo, straordinarie nitidezza e definzione, fantastici i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hallo Marie Christine,
Weer een prachtige macro. Er gaat door jouw foto's regelmatig een wereld voor me open, want van veel dieren weet ik wel iets, maar de insectenwereld is me grotendeels onbekend.
Schitterende kleuren, scherpte en vanuit een erg goede positie genomen.
Groet,
Peter

Bonsoir Marie-Christine,
Ce sont effectivement des charançons de superbe couleurs. Les couleurs et les détails sont très biens rendus, malgré la difficulté de leur petite taille. Merci pour cette découverte,
Catherine

This is a great macro, Mariki!
I tried to capture these weevils pairing with my equipment but the results were not as sharp and close as this shot. I also like thye lighting and contrast with the yellow flower BG.
TFS this excellent image,

Hello Mariki,
We have a beautiful wine colour Hazel in the garden where these little nasties are having a feast at the moment! This is a splendid sharp capture of them trying to multiply! Both are very nicely in focus and the colour is very beautiful and natural here. A fine composition too.
Many thanks, Ulla

Ciao Marie!
Che foto meravigliosa!

Hello Marie Christine

Wow your shots have come along way fast.This is beautiful and vivid.
Excellent colours and lighting.
The bright yellow flower makes a stand out backdrop for these lovely metallic green insects.
Well composed with a very good pov.

Hola Marie:
Preciosa fotografía. A mi me resulta dificil conseguir buenos resultados con los escarabajos, sobre todo porque el flash e incluso la luz solar provoca brillos indeseados.
Saludos
Jacobo

Hi Marie,
You´ve done an excellent and bright macro shot. I like metallic colours on this weevil couple and intense yellow flower BG. A nice pic.
Regards
Hernán

Hi Marie,
Beautiful color combo here, with the beetles green iridescent colors looking great. Very good detail, DOF, POV, and framing.
Well done & TFS!

Bonjour Marie-Christine!

Je choisis cette image pour un commentaire parce que, d'un côté, elle me plaît beaucoup par sa composition et ses couleurs; de l'autre côté parce que le week-end dernier, Dietrich Meyer (meyerd) a photographié le même insecte lors d'une sortie commune.

Amitiés

Markus

Hola Marie,
Magnífica captura de estos pequeños y bonitos gorgojos, excelente definición con bellos colores, sobre un posadero en el que les hace destacar, saludos
José Ramón

Hi Marie,
very good shot with beautiful metallic colors of the weevils.
I love those beetles, they look so funny. I'd like to see one of them in real.
