Hola Ram,
Excelente la imagen que nos presentas, la nitidez y detalles son extraordinarios, quizá el formato le quedase mejor horizontal, pero sigue siendo una gran imagen por la riqueza de detalles. Un cordial saludo

Very nice colorful macro image Ram.
Sharpness is very good and details are wonderful.
Composition imho would have been better with a little more space on the right or a little less space on the left side.
The bee wolf is a bit to much centered in the frame.
Best regards, Harry

Hello Ram,
Superb macro of this Bee Wolf in a very fine composition. Nice colours and details are very sharp and that eye enormous!! I like the soft contrasting background. (I see that you now use NeatImage which is very useful at times!)
Many thanks and all the best, Ulla

Hello Ram,
I see a fine close-up with good details!
Colours are eye-catching with the bright shining yellow, and I'm sure nature had a purpose with that too...
Well composed presentation, strong diagonal works well!

Hello Ram
I like very much this bee of yours! It seems rather strange to me, for I see it has an eye very similar to some butterflies, don't you think it? Also I like its antenae and the deep color of his abdomen and legs.
An excellent capture with great sharpness, DOF and composition.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Greetings
Maite

He looks as though he were clinging to the stem because it is his first gym class and his footing is unsure. He may be simple but you add to the curiosity and answer it with notes. Side view is well defined and again your notes make no further questions necessary.

He sticks out well as does the stem, with a subdued background making him the point of focus. As common or simple as he may be there...the same is not true for where I live now...Perhaps he is one that the US has pesticided out in their hurry to be number one in agriculture..."Kill selective nature for money and greed." What a motto. Kind of like saying "collateral damage" to make vague attempt in justifying spraying. But that is another story. Today is yours.

Hi Ram,

I recognised this chap by his stripey clothes.

An interesting angle to shot him from, it's kind of all bottom!
Super clarity and very fine detail.

Hi Ram,
Awesome macro shot. Such bright colours and perfect natural lighting. Those eyes are gorgeous and scary. Excellent POV to catch it resting, looking downwards. I like the diagonal composition and the smooth BG. Kudos.

Hello Ram,
Another fine shot of a Bee Wolf, this time letting us observe the enormous compound eye, much larger in proportion compäred with other wasp species.
Excellent sharp, well composed and detailed shot well set against a pleasing neutral BG.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Ram,

This is really something when you enlarge the picture. Fantastic macro. Excellent composition, colors, details, bg. I love the way you caught him traveling down the almost diagonal leaf.

Hi Ram.
I like your macro works so much and this one too. Very attractive insect and perfect its reproduction. Dof is selected perfectly. Colours are rich and nice. Inclined stem with insect on it creates a very impressive composition. Lighting is great too. Skillfully done shot. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Ram,
that's an interesting insect, I never saw such a one with my own eyes. The eyes are so big in comparison to the body. A wonderful shot, thanks

Hi Ram,
You have become an expert in these things :-)
The picture is good. It is slightly (very minimal ) overexposed! was it intentional

Hello Ram,
Nice to see this little bee at this close proximity. Good use of flash that reveal texture, pattern on wings, and other fine detail. Colors are vivid and appropriate blurred background. TFS,

Wow, a clear and superb macro shot with an excellen PoV sir.
The good lights have clearly highlighted the body of the Bee Woif and its eyes look bland jellylike ..more like the kind of eye sometimes certain fishes have.
A very interesting composition.
TFs & Cheers

Hi Ram,
I omitted t look at the nice Bee wolf. The eyes! You brought them out in a surprisingly successful fashion: from the back. Well done, Ram. Thanks for presenting the rarely seen animal.
My best regards to you,
Dietrich

Thakur Saab, this is just one compliment but hats off to you for all your work. simply awesome. One small thing though; i would like it if you change your mugshot to one with a little more eye contact..
Keep it up
