Hola Ricardo,
¡Qué foto más atractiva! Ya sin las chinches, el control de la luz sobre la flor, la textura de la misma y su color son magníficas, especialmente por el contraste con la zona negra. Luego las chinches son bonitas, están perfectamente enfocadas y muy bien colocadas en la composición.
Un saludo, José M.

Hi Ricardo.

Hallo Ricardo,
due to the flash, you achieve pretty good sharpness for both specimens. Nice natural colours of the bugs and the flower (Malva).
Best wishes,

Ricardo, que beleza de foto.

A imagem é extremamente colorida, o contraste é excelente.

Gosto também da saturação e da nitidez. O fundo negro realça os insetos.

Mais uma excelente captura.

Bonjour Ricardo
C'est une merveilleuse photo en macro
que ces deux insectes accouplés,très belle composition, les couleurs et le cadrage et les détails sont tous très bons.Très beau BG

Hi Ricardo,
Beautiful color saturation and very sharp detail. Also the clarity and DOF are superb. I think what really makes this shot is the composition. The diagonal line leaving the dark backround in the left area makes for a much more dramatic look. Very well done!
scott

Hi Ricardo,
a wonderful shot just at the right moment.
Such luck to see it, I like it so much.
The colours are so fresh and wonderful, thanks

Como decimos aqui, a ver quién le hecha un par de huevos y consigue esta profundidad de campo con una reflex digital :)
Bonita composicion hacia el abismo y contraste de colores. La extension del fondo al marco le queda que ni pintado.
Gracias y un saludo!

Excellent work Ricardo.
I really like the colors and black BG I see.
Very good exposure, sharpness, detail, DOF, framing, and an interesting POV of the mating..
Very well done mf.

Hello Ricardo,
perfectly clear image with excellent details within a remarkably good depth of field, perfect coloration in unusual combination, and a very refined composition with a lot of tension. Great!
Thank you, dear friend. My best regards,

What a beautiful and interesting close-up for these lovers that you have very well captured ! Colors, light, DOF and sharpness are great. I like the appearance of the insects. Congratulations Ricardo and thanks for sharing.

Hi, Ricardo.
Great macro. It's interesting episode (mating) + of course POV and pose. Very good exposure and sharpness.

Unusual capture, bold composition. Nice colours and shape. Sharpness is perfect for both subjects. The fill flash worked well. The red part of the flower gives punch and depth to this image. Well done, Ricardo.

Bonjour,
Belle composition de couleurs prise au bon moment !
Bonne journée.

Hi Ricardo

Simply magnificent my friend. The colours, the composition, the details, and the activity. A very "private" moment very openly displayed, but in such fantastic taste and beauty that even the most squeamish would say: "More please give us more".

I just love this shot and there is nothing adversely or negative to comment on. The POV is sweet, the DOF is simply spectacular, The BG is superb and complimentary, and the exposure was wonderfully mastered.

Amazing work and TFS.

Loot

Hi Ricardo.
Want a elegant in its colour palette picture. The details of the bugs are precise at high range: they extremely exact, thinnest and sharp. The reproduction of the colour tones and texture of the petal are fantastic too. Composition of the light parts and dark areas is perfect. Nice skilful work of art. My best wishes and TFS.

Hello Ricardo,
Great diagonal composition with vivid colours. The pink flower serves as perfect background for these interesting bugs. Excellent details and DOF.
Best greetings and TFS!
Michal

Hello Ricardo!
Very interesting and colourfull composition! Photo nice not only because of mating heteropterans (with good DOF!) but also because of contrast between flower (+bugs) and the black BG.
Best gretings,
Radomid
