Hi Ivan

Great composition, with excellent DOF. I like the BG very much as it enhances the bugs.

Hello Ivan,
very nice colours and light and a beautiful scene. I like the general composition of the picture. The result achieved considering the circumstances, conditions and the equipment used is remarkable, in particular with respect to the 2m-distance. On my trip to the Harz mountains last week, I took also some pictures of G. lineatum, some of them also with 2 specimens. I used a Macro lens and got very close to the insects. Perhaps, I will post a picture later.
Best wishes, Peter

What a handsome pair, Ivan!
These Shieldbugs are truly good looking except that they exude the most foul smelling stuff when they are fiddled with! I have first hand experience of it with a species of it native to my place in the hills of India. Of course, it was during my younger days when one is more adventurous :-).
Well done and TFS.

Hi Ivan,

How wonderful to find a pair of these beetles side by side on a beautiful green leaf. Wonderful colors and details showing their striped pattern.

Dear Ivan!
This is a very good picture! I like:
-composition - two individuals of the some species looking in the some direction!

- DOF - very good, no other comment is needed :)

- colouratio - well saturated colours and good using of the flash

- note - as always there is something interesting and new!

- object - in Poland rather common (probably not so common in Sweden because of temperatures), but really good presented.

TFS and have a nice evening!

Hola Ivan,
Really good capture by its natural and well suturated colours, perfect details and pair of bugs. Here where I live we have millions of such insects!
We can see them very often eating this

Hi Ivan,
Lovely pair of shieldbugs. Rich colours and sharp details. Perfect lighting and a fine POV and DOF. The natural environment in which they are captured gives a feeling of real life. They were in good hands. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello ivan,
What a striking photo of these duo of Shieldbugs!
Very natural picture. I can see these bugs quite often here, but never succeeded to make a valuable picture.
best regards.
Sorry I am late with the points. I was not at home.

Hello Ivan,
Very nice and odd pair to me, seems to be a common species in europe, I´ve commented some taken in several countries. This species looks like Milan fans to me... :)
Good job, friend
Cheers
