A fine close, frame-filling macro of an immature Downy Emerald taken with superb sharpness, a great side POV and lighting against a blue sky.
A fine shot and thanks for posting it.
Have a good weekend,

This is a powerful capture of this beautiful Downy Emerald against a very apt, plain blue BG, Roma.
The image is needle sharp and has very natural colours.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Roma.
What a perfect use of a nice macro equipment. You have pictured this impressive scene with great skill. I am amazed with reproduction of all details of the insect including terrific hairs. Dry stem is also reflected superbly. All together with smooth blur BG create a fine and nicely looking close-up composition. Well done and kind regards.
Alexei.
