[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Aquarius najas najas De Geer. Hemiptera. Gerridae.

Generalmente áptero pero alado en el Sur de Europa. Vive en grupos en rios, arroyos, canales,aguas estancadas, etc
A veces se les ve apareándose pareciendo entonces un solo individuo con reflejos de muchas patas en el fondo del agua.
Cuerpo estrecho y patas largas. Final de las patas cubiertas por unos pelos hidrófobos que aprovechan para desplazarse junto con la tensión superfuicial de la propia agua.
son depredadores de pequeños insectos acuáticos.
El de mi fotografóa creo que es uno de sus estados de desarrollo sin ser aún adulto.

Hello Josep,
Have seen so many but never came an idea of photographing them.
Insect and its reflection in water is doing wonders.
Excellent work.

Wow, this is an interesting subject, Josép! You captured the insect very well. Great details and nice POV brings great results into the picture. The DOF and sharpness are just wonderfully controlled. The colors ae perfect with great contrast between the insect and the sorroundings. Well seen!

Hello neighbour Josep Ignasi,
Beautiful original photo in splendid light and natural colours. The shadow in the water on the bottom is also very beautiful. Great sharpness, POV and DOF.
Regards,
Peter

Hola Josep,
un'immagine molto interessante di questo insetto che riesce a spostarsi sulla superficie dell'acqua, l'ombra mostra molto bene i meccanismi fisici di questo fenomeno,
eccellenti POV e composizione.
Grazie e complimenti.
Saludoscordiales

Hi Ignasi,i know very well this floating insects,impressive pic for sharpness and colors and beautiful the shadow on the ground underwater! My best compliments,have a nice week,LUCIANO

Hola Josep,

Como has entrenado tu ojo fotográfico! imagino que el enfoque debe haber resultado todo un desafío!... buen trabajo, con excelente composición aprovechando la sombra del insecto, impresionante lo que hiciste con el agua, adoptaste el ángulo perfecto para que no reflectara en nada, si no fuera por la depresión (producto de los detalles que son excelentes) en el final de las patas del insecto, cualquiera diría que está volando! Una foto bien manejada y agradablemente minimalista!

Hi Josep,
great, the strider and its shadow in a diagonal. Good composition! The species has not been presented often on TN before, your contribution is valuable even on these grounds.
best regards
Dietrich

ho provato anche io a fotografare questo
ragno d'acqua Gerris lacustris ,ma con risultati scadenti..
la tua cattura invece e' bene gestita,dettagli focalizzazione e luce
ottima l'idea di questa presa trasversale,
con l'ombra che evidenzia con dei cerchi il contatto con l'acqua...
bravo Josep...ottimo lavoro!
