Hi Gert,
this bug is interesting, I always wonder how many different designs they can have.
I like the metallic red on the backside and the nice pose. Thanks and bye bye

Hej Gert,
Very fine capture of this little bug sharply in focus and showing excellent details. I really like your composition with the bug climbing up and out of the daisy. Very nice green background too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hemskt blåsigt och kallt här idag - känns som om höst stormarna kommit redan!

Hi Gert,

Thank you for the great notes because this insect is new to me. Excellent colors and details. I love the flower it has settled on. They both look wonderful against the superb background.

Hi Gert,
Outstanding macro shot of this Shield Bug captured with amazing harpness and colour tones. Superb use of flash lighting and the BG highlights the subjects pretty well here. Excellent POV to capture this marvellous pose. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi,
Amazing picture, the details are amazing and again the exposure is spot on. The colors and the POV are excellent. The position of the subject, just off center here gives a punch to the picture

Hi Gert.
Common bug but you managed to find a brilliant scene and make superb of impressiveness and quality close-up picture, Bravo and TFS. Amazing pose of the bug, great combination of these two beautiful objects (flower and insect). Sunlight and razor sharpness are terrific as well as the wonderful BG. Once more superb job.

Hi Gert

A lovely macro. I really like the hard angles of the insect which contrast well with the softer lines of the flower. The focus and colour are great too.

Very sharp image. It gives us an excellent sense of the texture of his shell. He seems to be somewhere between maroon and purple in color. Reid

Hi Gert,
Yesterday, I took some pictures of this very same bug..., no so close-up, my equipment doesn't allow so, but I'll upload one, to see if there are differences between sweddish and catalan sloe bugs...;-) Regards, Marta
