Hola Jose,
phantastic picture of the bug. Excellent focus and exactly the right depth of field. Most admirable is the presentation of the surface structure in combination with light management. Composition is also perfect.
Best wishes, Peter

Saludos José Ramon. Parece que se pueda tocar ya que la profundidad de campo es enorme y el enfoque perfecto. Encuadre ok. Yo sigo dándole pero me cuesta y eso que ahora no tengo excusa (canon 400+sigma 105 macro...ejej)
Saludos desde Lleida.

Hola Jose Ramon.

Este chinche parece copiar a las vacas lecheras que son a manchas en un blanco y negro parecido, yo este mismo modelo lo fotografie totalmente negro.

Saludos.

Your study of bugs and beetles stands apart as a class unto itself, Jose.

The exposure, details, and POV are all outstanding. Interesting post.

Hola José Ramón,
Extraordinario macro?
Es impresionante la definición y nitidez logrados en el insecto.
Me gusta mucho la composición, con la hoja y el insecto asomándose por el vértice superior.
Enhorabuena y gracias por mostrar la foto.
Un gran saludo,
JM

Hi Jose,

What a stunning macro of this Beetle, very nicely composed with a great pose and POV, the DOF is perfect and the detail on the shell is excellent, very good colours too.

TFS Hilary :o)

Hello Jose!
Fantastic capture with lovely details and very ncie POV! It is also nice to known what species it is :) By the way, in Latin the name of species (here "bicolor") should be always written in small letter :)
Best greetings from Lodz,

Hi Jos,
Beautiful shot, with excellent pov and pin sharp detail. Colours are very natural and the well blurred BG gives more emphasis to the subject.
