Hola Ricardo,
Muy buena y dificil captura de esta habitual mosquita en la zona. La composición, encuadre, fondo y colores son muy, muy buenos.
está recortada? El foco es bastante bueno pero no óptimo. de todos modos una foto para elogiar, dificilmente la lograría con mis medios.
Saludos

Hello Ricardo,
Excellent composition, I like the dynamics in this one!
It is like the flower is sucking in the hoverfly... Which is very well captured with fine details, I like the motion blur in the wings!

Hola Ricardo,
Una captura impecable, con el movimiento del animal congelado y una composición muy acertada, tanto en la posición del animal como en el espacio ocupado por la flor. Una excelete nitidez y un fondo bonito y borroso completan una muy buena captura es este minúsculo insecto.

great shot - I know they are not always easy to capture in flight... I know you have seen one of mine... Its always amazing 1/800 second and the wings are still moving so fast they are blurred....

I like the way you have the yellow flower in the bottom left hand corner, it works well for the composition.
