Hi Pablo.
I know this subject is not common for you. It is a pity. Your close-up is wonderful. Reproduction of the hoverfly I simply great. Colours, details and sharpness are perfect. I also like your classic (for this type of shooting) POV, excellent using flash and so impressive blurred and well coloured BG. My best regards and TFS.

Hey Pablo!
Una belleza muy delicada.
Perfecta imagen, con una composición genial.
Grandes detalles e iluminación ideal.
Hasta pronto, JL.

Hello Pablo,
Excellent close up.Exposure is spot on,details are crisp clear.I liked colors,sharpness and framing also a lot.Have a great weekend!
TFS..:-)

Beautiful photo. I am so worried about the bees and the bumble bees here in Sweden, the last summers. They have been so few and we have seen a lot of them lying dead. Maybe a disease? Hope they will not die out, otherwise we will be without fruit.

Perfect focus/sharpness. Great color. Great composition.
I can sense the texture of the body of the bee from this photo.
And thanks for your notes...you're so right...this is what nature is all about...it's about HOPE!:) There's a theme I'm running into today in the photos I critique.

Hello Pablo,
An insect picture after a long time since your last one. Great picture to mark the occasion that spring is really come your area. The image is crystal clear and well exposed. Lovely composition. Also very nice natural colors.

Hi Pablo

A very beautiful macro shot form you!
I like the details that this hoverfly is presented with as well as the charming colors given by the spot-on exposure here.
The upper POV is excellent and, together with the great DOF, make a splendid composition.

Wow, you're shooting macros now are you? This is very well done. Great crisp details here. The light is solid, too. The composition is a nice diagonal. The placement is a bit unusualy, but I think it works well. I look forward to more macros in the future!

Hello Pablo,

A macro with bees are always something extraordinarily, a bee is almost never quiet but you taken a very nice macro picture.

Greetings,
John.

Hi Pablo,
Excellent photo with perfect details and a great out of center composition. The color combination is very pleasing for the eyes. The light helped you with a lot as well. What lens did you use for this photo. You got so close and captured so much detail that it looks like you used a macro lens.
TFS,
Niek
