Ciao Ivan,
bellissima composizione con gli steli d'erba intrecciati e la visione diagonale di questo insetto dalle lunghe antenne, ottima definizione dei dettagli, perfetta esposizione con un grande equilibrio nei colori e stupenda luminosità.
Grazie e complimenti.

Hi Ivan.
Once more great use of nice camera. It (with your help) produces crisp sharp images. Sharpness and details are fantastic. Lights and colours are so amazing. However, especially I like terrific 3D-effect and nice blurred BG. Great close-up in every respect. My compliments and TFS.

Supongo que es una alegría encontrase con uno de estos en el camino jeje. Buen encuadre, enfoque y conjunto, con las dificultades típicas que tiene su cabeza a la hora de plasmarla.

I think I can see...only ever so slightly, the colour which you refer. My macro lens is really not good enough to get this close in, so I have not much to compare in my catalogue with some exceptions... I have to wing it by saying it certainly is a technically good piece and well balance colours. As to the insect, well all things in nature eh? It is not a particularly "pretty" bug, however open heart surgery is not pretty either...yet all thing....all...

Hello Ivan,

It is unusual for the female to be brightly coloured in the animal world! Your excellent notes explain why this beetle got its name!

The details are excellent. I never observed so clearly how the antennae are segmented!

Very well placed image for best composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ivan,

It didn't take you any time at all to master the G9. Wonderful macro and your notes are always so informative. Excellent details of this beetle with the very long antennae. Nice natural colors and as in all your photos a wonderful composition.

Hello Ivan
longhorns are my favourite beetles of the order Coleoptera. They are very beautiful as like one in your post. You capture it with a great macro. Focus, POV, composition great. colors also very nice. Thanks for sharing, have a nice week my friend

Hi Ivan!

As you wrote, male isn't very red :-) Hard to capture, always moving between grasses and even harder to exposure. You did good job here with beetle well visible against BG, sharp and with nice colours.

Hello Ivan,

What a good way to present this insect! Composition is very good as the format you have chosen suits the subject and left placed stems give stability to whole composition. DOF is well used as most of insects body is in focus and even tiny details can be observed.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Ivan,
That's again a beetle we meet often in the Alps. You succeded in making an interesting picture, having the Stictoleptura rubra placed in an ideal diagonal way. Good light to show all details from antennae to the back.
Un grand merci
