Hi Ralf

A very beautiful post!
Great POV, excellent sharp details, lovely colors and good manage of flash. The good DOF and blurry BG really make the subject stand out even more.
Very well done!

Bravo and TSF

Stuning shot Ralf. Probably one of the best shots of this species I've seen.
Beautiful warm tones and great contrast with OOF background. The wing spot stands out very well.

Una bonita captura Ralf con agradable POV y correcto DOF y encuadre.
Los suaves colores contrastan agradablemente sobre el fondo difuso de la imagen.
Adecuado control de la luz y el foco.
Buen trabajo.

Appropriate control of the light and focus.
