Hello,
This photo was taken last Saturday at my fathers garden.I used here Nikon R1C1 speedlight system with diffusuer and orange gelatin filter.This one is not at top quality level and hole antenna was not shown,but I liked POV and decided to post:)
Have a great week and hope you’ll like it too!

Adult seen MayJuly and often found under flaking bark or in rotting timber; in sunny weather also visits flowers to hunt for small insects. Carnivorous larva lives in rotting wood.

A nice capture Sebnem,
A great POV,excellent detail and DOF.
The antenna are difficult to get as they move them quickly,you've got them nice and sharp so well done.
Great shot.

TFS

I like the tone of this image, Sebnem. It is unusual.
Good to see a new post from you after days. My assumption seems to be right; you post only the best, so you wait until you get one!
This one is superb from all points of view.
I read you camera settings with utmost care; they are a great source of learning.
TFS.

Hi, funny pose captured.
Great compo and colors,
Andrea

Hello Sebnem,
Nice closeup of the action :)
These two, dangling off the flowers petal, make for a very interesting capture IMO. This filter you have used has warmed the color significantly, producing a nice effect..
Well done.

Hi Sebnam,
An excellent macro shot. The colors are very well saturated and beautiful. The orange filter really enhances them. The detail is tack sharp. I like the pose you have captured. This looks great!
Scott

Fantastic macro shot ! Amazing details and very nice colors, unusual due to the orange filter but very beautiful. Greeat POV, composition and timing. I also like your BG. Very well done !

Hi Sebnem,
We must wait for your shots a lot but when one came, just exclamation can be said. What a beautiful shot! Yes, focus is not the best, antenna was cut, but POV, color and pose are at top quality!
TFS, José M.

Hello Şebnem!
This is quite strange style for climbing ;-) I don't think so it is a safe way! Very interesting toned shot and lighting! Great pov and very nice details especially on the face! Different and nostalgic looking macro cause of the orange gelatine. Maybe a little bit more light and sharpness could be useful. But still it's an amazing shot with an interesting moment!
Thank you!
Ersin

Salut Sebnem
Belle prise de vue Que ces deux insectes après se reproduire.La composition est très jolie les couleurs sont belles
Bravo et merci...JP

Merhaba,
öncelikle söylemeliyim ki tonlama çok hoş olmuş. Kompozisyonda böceklerin zorlanıyormuş hissi çok iyi verilmiş bu da çok iyi. İzleniyorsunuz, çünki titiz ve güzel çalışmalar çıkarıyorsunuz.
En iyi dilekler...

Hi Sebnem,
It's very pink :-) Nice macro and perfect flash, that R1C1 looks to be working very well for you. Good detail, rich colours. I agree about the missing parts but still a good shot.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hahaha, Sebnem,
that's lovely, what a cute moment, I love this shot. We also have many of those bugs in the garden. Last year I saw a couple of them making love and made a love-story as a collage, funny guys. Thanks for sharing

Hello Sebnem!

Nice close up. Exposure is good, however focus is a little soft on the eye. I like the color harmony and the tight cropping, no matter the missing end of the antenna. Graal workshop did improved the sharpness, however I prefer orginal color.

Great close-up and TFS.

Hi Sebnem,

I really like this picture. Good focus, DOF and nice composition. Well done.

Hi Şebnem,
Excellent colors and details with good composition and really good POV.TFS.
Ali Rıza

I love the composition on this bar the clipping of the antenna. Critical sharpness is not as good as I would like with your Sigma Sebnem. That said it is a good image backed up with excellent Note. Well done.

Hello Sebnam. Great capture, lots of action going on. The composition, POV, detail and colour are superb. Also like the way that the reds and pinks blend. TFS!

Now are these creatures natural Red or just tired? ;) Excellent shot, nice macro work!

What a beautiful creation!
You're the master, my dear....
Situation sooo well captured, in the most desirable quality, so well done!

Hello Sebnem,
Very good shot! Interesting moment captures with a great POV and good details. I like the framing here, pity that the horn was cut, but that's not very distracting. The picture has preety nice colours but there seems to be a bit too strong yellow cast.
Overall, very well done on this one!

Hi Sebnum, it is a good POV. I'm not too sure about the colours, but you caught the action well. TFS
Janice

A really amazingly sharp, very detailed and such an image...
Well captured...

Excellent POV Sebnem on this macro capture. I personally wouldn't bother with those filters especially with macros, plus it would be less of a distraction while spending more time acclimating to the R1C1. If you really want you can apply different effect using color balance in a photo editor such as Photoshop, I have posted a photo that has been edited to see the after effect making color balance adjustments: Example. :)

Hi Sebnem, just a flying visit to TN, have got a busy couple of weeks ahead so won't be around much. Just time to say a great macro shot. Excellent warm colours and details. I love the red tones and they contrast well against the neutral background. Well composed shot and TFS.

Fantastic colour in this shot. Great macro, nice even BG. Thanks Allan.

What a beautiful macro that you have well done ! The composition is simple and smart, colors are pleasing, POV and DOF are good, but sharpness is a bit soft...
First, for ID I thought to "Rhagonycha fulva" but they are so similar...
Congratulations Sebnem and thanks for sharing.

Hello Sebnem,
beautiful pose, excellent details, wonderful colours!
Thank you! Best regards,

Very nice Shot Sebnem, the warm colours really make it something speical. Well done on such a good composition. The details on the bugs nice.....

Vous n'avez pas seulement pris une photographie, mais vous avez réalisez une magnifique oeuvre d'art. Je l'ajoute à mes favorites.
Je vous félicite.

What detail, as always! Fantastic color and clarity. Are they earwigs? Do they have a pincher at the bottom end? They look like them.

Hi Sebnem,
excelent composition. Your new R1C1 shows a perfect work. The orange gelatin filter got a wonderful result.
Congratulations,
Have a nice friday and weekend.

Hallo Sebnem,

This is another excellent photo from you! As beautiful as the rest of your of your portfolio! I like your composition and POV! The colors are great and the BG really makes the bugs stand out! Great note too! A very good job and a complete post! TFS!

Very nice capture.
I like the almost monochromy.
Would have been nicer if the female would have bend the second antenna.
Those bugs never want to do what we want !
