Cuando esta mañana muy temprano publiqué mi imagen del día y ver que exactamente al lado se encontraba la tuya, con esta belleza de insecto que pareciera corresponder a la misma familia, pensé si sería sólo casualidad o algo más.
Una de las mejores fotos de bugs publicadas querido amigo... sin dudas.
Porque su colorido (el del insecto y el reproducido) junto con su agudeza y composicion son efectivamente maravilloso.
Un favorito más para mi colección.

One of the best published photos of bugs dear friend... without doubts.
Because their colorful (the one of the insect and the reproduced one) along with their sharpness and composition are indeed wonderful.
A favorite more for my collection.

When this very early morning I published my image of the day and to see that exactly alongside was yours, with this beauty of insect that I seemed to correspond to the same family, I thought if it would be only chance or something more.

Beautiful colours, Excellent sharpness and composition.well done.Eyal

Wonderful macro Gert!
Focus and DOF couldn't be better. Exposure and lighting marvelous. And color contrast, just exquisite. I tried all day to find something wrong and I gave up! ;o)
Great shot 10/5 , TFS
