Hola Victor
Extraordinaria macro de esta bonita chinche de ojitos brillantes (¿he dicho yo eso?). Estos bichillos siempre me han dado bastante repelús desde niña, sin embargo debo reconocer que en esta foto queda preciosa. ¡Si es que la foto está genial!
Felicidades y un cordial saludo
Maite

Hola Vicma, el enfoque seleccionado en la cabeza es muy bueno, la luz y el color muy natural, la flor seca de la izquierda quizas tenga mucho protagonismo. Un saludo

Hola Victor,
as in the bumble bee picture posted by 'dkaved', you exactly focused on the part where insect and plant are in interaction.
You achieved high sharpness just on the important structures.
Colours are really natural, an important quality criterion 'in my eyes'.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Vicma,

This is a very good close-up of this bug. very well chosen DOF showing great details of insect's body. I like the moment you chose for taking the photo. I presume the insect is feeding. Never seen this before.

Thank you for sharing,

Hola Victor.
Pues por aqui tambien hay estos bichos colorados, los cuales al parecer no son muy beneficos para las plantas y en ocacciones se llegan a multiplicar en grandes cantidades dependiendo de la comida disponible.
Un Macro de bellos colores y alta nitidez, se aprecian finos detales en su largo pico.
Saludos Victor. Un fuerte abrazo.

Ho Vicma,
Very good detail, color, and exposure.
Interesting POV & comp also, because it shows the insects natural habitat so well :)
Well done & have a Great Weekend!

Bonjour Vicma,
Bon focus sur la tête de cette punaise à la coloration éclatante. Elle a l'air un peu diabolique dans cet environnement désordonné. Angle de vue original.
Meilleures salutations

Hi Vicma,
A bug I have managed to capture in my lens a few times over here and up and till now didn't know its name.You really caught it in amongst its habitat and the detail of its head and eyes is crystal sharp.Good work my friend.
Regards, David

Hello Vicma, very good shot of this Seed Bug, and it looks like you caught him feeding. Your positioning is good, giving us a good shot of his head with his long proboscis. With the angle of the bug, the depth of field is maybe a tad shallow but still adequate to give very good detail and colour on the bug, especially this head.

Thanks, John

You have solved my problem, Vicma.
Only yesterday, I shot a similar bug in a Bird Sanctuary. There were many of them on a large-leafed plant.
Your picture of this bug is excellent in quality.
Great focus and colours.
Well done and TFS.

Bonita toma Víctor, con excelente enfoque a la cabeza pero algo justa de profundidad. Buen encuadre y lo que mas me gusta es el realismo de los colores.
