Hello Jose,
just like yesterday some great macro work. It seems quite hard to me to capture an insect from this size. Do you use extension tubes? THe green/yellow colours give the image a natural look.
Regards, Jacob

Hola Jose,
a very nice and impressive close-up of the beetle. Flash application is well managed. Great depth of field and superb presentation of the insect's surface structures.
Best wishes, Peter

Muy buenas José Ramón
Que gran rendimiento le estas sacando a ese objetivo y menuda artillería con tres anillos. Preciosa foto la que nos muestras y una profundidad de campo extraordinaria y mira que eso no es tan fácil.
Un saludo

Hi Jose

What a lovely macro shot with an impressive magnification and some very good and sharp details to it, too.
The colors here are wonderful - vibrant and nicely contrasting and the DOF of your shot is excellent - keeping almost all of the insect in full focus.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Jose,
Otra gran macro de su mano. Pov y DOF excelentes. Un marco bien compuesto con los detalles y el uso muy buenos del flash. Tengo gusto del color metálico sutil de las cubiertas del ala también:) Howard

Eresun Mega-crack:-) Tienes unas macros sensacionales

Hello Jose Ramon!
Only 5-7 mm? Impressive and wonderful capture! Especially that Chrysomelidae beetles are so convex and shiny that it is more than difficult to take a good quality photo. And you did it in very good way. It is really nice to watch this photo my Friend!

And because the old year is just ending I would like to wish you all the best and only nice and happy moments in 2008!!!
Friendly yours,
Radomir
