Hi Chris,

Wonderful macro shot of the transparent Burnets! They seems to be too busy to disturb :)
The colors are superb with nice sharpness and good POV. The light purple flower gives great contrast to these metallic black-colored burnets with isolated red patches. Well done!

Thanks for sharing.

regards,
Paras Bhalla

Interesante Chris, pero creo que recortaste demasiado por lo que los posibles defectos de enfoque se ven mucho.

Witaj Krzysztofie.
Kraśniki trudno sfotografować w naturalnych kolorach - a Tobie się to bardzo dobrze udało. Ładnie pokazałeś tę parkę.
Dzięki za prezentację tego gatunku.
Pozdrawiam
Alina
PS. Mam nadzieję, że podobała Ci się dedykacja ;-)))

Witaj Krzysztofie
Bardzo piekne krasnikowe rendezvous. Zestaw czarnego z czerwonym to nie lada wyzwanie dla fotografa. Ladnie widac szczegoly. Sliczne barwy i nawet fragment podgladacza jest :D.
Gratuluje, pozdrawiam i ruszam na poszukiwania krasnikow - Roma

Czesc,
fajny moment zlapales. Ich skrzydelka sa trudne do fotografowania, jakos tak chropowato wychodza. Ta setka niezle sobie radzi. Krzysztof rowniez.
Milego weekendu zycze.
