I have this lens, but I never get such sharp shots as this Gert! Even with a tripod!
Awesome capture, I am envious!! He is so sharp, so clear, so perfect. Well done my friend

I love the composition you got here, distributing the 3 textures in the square frame.
Very good light, details and colours too.
Thanks again, Gert.

Hi Gert

Again a great macro shot!
Very good details, excellent textures (i love the way the hair looks:)), lovely colors and framing. Also great POV, with a very good DOF (just an idea...maybe if it were just a very, very bit deeper, to get the secound antena into focus), perfect BG, all very well composed.
All-in-all a super shot!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Gert,
it was amazing to see all the exotic butterflies in the butterfly-house some weeks ago. But when I look at your brimstone or look at my own brimstone-shots of the last year I must say, that this green one is one of the beautiful butterflies I know. Look at these hairs and this rose antennas, it's wonderful.
Thanks for this impressive sharp close-up, I enjoyed looking so much.
Bye and greetings

Hi Gert.
This is amazing!! A real treat. Could I ask...Do you think shooting in RAW contributed in making this image as clear and detailed and beautiful? I am trying to learn about RAW.

Thanks and Congrats!

Había pasado por alto esta macro con tantos detalles y nitidez Gert.
La vellosidad del insecto fundamentalmente es maravillosa.
El foco bien justo ha dejado la antena posterior fuera de foco, pero no desmerece la calidad de la presentación.
Excelente elección del recorte también.
Saludos cordiales... Ricardo

I had disregarded this macro with so many details and clarity Gert.
The hairiness of the insect fundamentally is wonderful.
The very just focus has left the later antenna outside of focus, but non be unworthy of the quality of the presentation.
Excellent election of the cutting also.
Best regards... Ricardo

Tight crop makes this photograph less impressive. Sorry.
