Hello Dietrich,
Excellent macro of an Assasin Bug nymph.
The technical standard is superb and I like the way you used the fill-in flash against the light, which not only helped the exposure but also allowed you to achieve a great DOF.
Thanks for sharing this 'beauty' my friend, and enjoy your Easter vacation!

Congradulations. I liked most the soft curve of the leaves and the antennae, it would be great if we had seen some more of its texture. The details are very good, but the bug is very 'shiny'.

Hello Dietrich,

Nice picture of this nymph. Good POV, DOF and sharpness. Good lighting and colours. These insects are strange with their "broken" antennae.
Cheers,
Mariki

Gracias Dietrich por tu eficaz colaboración para mejorar la presentación de mi mariposa. Realmente ha cambiado solamente con unos pequeños retoques y la fotografía mejora muchísimo.
Muy interesantes colores y luces en la toma de tu depredador, que veo que por esas latitudes ya empieza a estar activo.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi

hallo Dieter,
Nochmals bravo für Deine Aufnahme. Du erreichst jetzt wirklich ein sehr anspruchsvolles Niveau mit Deinen Bildern. Farblich und von der Komposition her, sehr gefälliges Bild dieser Mordwanzenlarve.Sie scheint auch nicht schlechte Absichten zu haben (mit eienem solchen Namen!)
Nochmals Frohe Ostern

Hi Dietrich!

Very fine macro with most of the bug in focus!
It really is assassin-like-looking! Does it change colour when it become an adult or does it stay like this?

The backlight makes this an even more intresting picture, in contrast to the dark "abyss" under the leaf in the downright corner. It's almost as if the bug crawled out down from hell.

Thanks for showing us this!

and thank you for your comments on my photos, greatly appriciated.

Regards,
Johannes

Hi Dietrich.
What a nice specimen have been pictured by you. I have never seen this colourful creature. As usual macro equipment was used perfectly, DOF is great as ell as the lighting. Bravo and kind regards.
Alexei.

Hallo Dieter,
sehr kunstvoll beherrschte Ausleuchtung dieser Szene im Gegenlicht.
Äußerst präzises und detailreiches, elegant komponiertes lichtdurchflutetes Portrait einer Mordwanze.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter
