Super macro. Les détails morphologiques de l'insecte sont bien rendu. Peut-être un peu de reflex lumineux sur la carapace. Belle prise, merci

This kind of bugs are very difficult, you are always in the border from sharp & oversharp with this textures. Nice shot, with a surreal background. Great details. Good work.
