Hello Gert,
I don't like to re-write my previous critiques of your work but I'm afraid I have too, as this is just perfect :-) Beautiful shot, wonderful rich colours and contrast. excellent detail and perfect composition, I like the white stripe on the plant crossing the frame like that. Excellent work.

If I was to pick nits, the only one I could see is a small dark patch above the Beetle's back that looks like sensor dust. But I'm not in a nit-picking mood today so I won't mention it :-)
Have a great weekend,
Adrian

Hello Gert,
I love the spots of pollen(?) on his beautiful red coat. : )
Absolutely gorgeous colors.
Intriguing white underside of the leaf showing great texture.
Amazed at the shape of his abdomen, so "squarrish" and flat.
Fascinating shot. TFS. : )

Hello Gert, if there is anyone out there educating me on the Swedish insect life out here its gotta be you. Very nice Macro worl and detail on this small bug. Interesting note to end off with, nice work Gert, catch you around. I am off now to get myself a Moose now ( the four legged kind ;-) ) after so much sadness in not seeing one this year now 7.5 months not a sighting until yesterday, unfortunately I was not pleased with my out come, all down to lack of camera use.....

Until the next posting.

Regards

Demetrio

Hi Gert.
Your productivity and quality of your photos make a strong impression. My English does not allow me to keep up with your perfect jobs. The shot of this beetle is outstanding. Texture of leaf and flower is superb. Composition, colours, lighting and contrast are above any praise and so on. Bravo.
Alexei.
