Hola Nicolás,
Buena toma con mucho detalle y buena nitidez, aunque un poco justa de profundidad de campo. Saludos cordiales

Hi Nicholas,
Excelent composition, we can see every detail of the insects, the red eyes adds value to the overall color balance of the pic.
I think just needed a little more DOF.
Regards,
JM
