Hi Andy,
Not easy to take pictures of lacewings, I already tried and wasn't successful. Amazing golden eye(we call it here Goldauge) and beautiful nervured wings.
Thanks also for your note

Hi Andy,
Nice photo and I like the POV. This lacewing's eye has some interesting colours in it. It captures the attention of the eye(bad pun) but it does.

Hello Andy,
a nice and clear picture of this Chrysoperla. Pretty good sharpness on head, thorax and legs, particularly on the colourful eyes. Appropriate non-disturbing background.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Andy

What an impressive creature!
The magnification is great and the details are very impressive! I especially love its eye with that great reflection!
Very good POV and DOF, too.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Andy.
I know this insect very well and have some its photos. But I must to say that yours is more better. I like the perfect reproduction of the smallest details and colours of this charming Lacewing. Great exposure and contrast, rich colorful BG and nice composition. Superb done and TFS.

Una bonita macro Andy the esta difícil especie para retratar.
Me agrada la agudeza lograda, la iluminación sin crear reflejos sobre la alas (sólo se percibe el uso del flash en el ojo), con buen DOF y foco, además de conseguir un fondo bien difuso para resaltar la silueta del insecto y su percha.
Gracias y un gran saludo... Ricardo

Nice macro Andy of this difficult species to depict.
I like achieved sharpness, the illumination without creating reflections on the wings (the use of the flash is only perceived in the eye), with good DOF and focus, besides getting a very diffuse bottom to stand out the silhouette of the insect and its hanger.
Thank you and best regards... Ricardo

Hello Andy,
You have a better lens on the 350D for macro than me, and the results are super. Exposure, colors, DOF and sharpness are good. Useful note too...
Congratulations my friend and TFS.

Hello Andy,
Lovely shot!
I find them quite difficult to photograph and I don't really have any decent capture of lacewing. This one is very clear, has great details and, what is very important, the eye shows it's beautiful colours really well.
Very good job on this one!

Hi Andy

Very impressive macro work and a stunning capture of this green lacewing. What an impressive multicoloured eye.

The superbly defined details and perfect exposure makes this photo very pleasing on the eye. Everything is well within the scope of the DOF. The colours are splendid and the darkish BG compliments the subject while it is very evenly coloured and well OOF. The composition is great with the insect running through the diagonal.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
