Hola Hernan !
Que bonita foto des este insecto, con excelentos detalles, hermosa composicion, y und fondo muy lindo que pone en valor al insecto. La forma de la planta es muy original y me gusta mucho, y me gusta tambien la posa del insecto, con una pata en la cara, y se parece que mira en tu direccion. (Perdon si estoy haciendo errores en mi español)
Agradecidos y saludos,
Valerie.

Hernan, the curling tendril in this composition is as significant as the Beetle itself. Both supplement each other in making this picture so very beautiful.
The pink BG has also turned to a super advantage in this picture.
The image is very sharp and colourful.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Hernan

It gave me tremendous pleasure when I just noticed that you finally were able to upgrade your equipment and you are now using a Raynox DCR250 for you macros (close-ups). I have tried extensively to get hold of this lens here in South Africa, but for some strange reason it is just not available. Anyway, it's is a lovely capture of this Cacoscelis beetle. I just hope it was not tooooo drunk at the top of the "curl" (chuckle). The nicely isolated and neutral BG compliments the image and the sharp details are wonderful to view.

Well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. Pardon me for my short comment as I am rather pushed for time this year. It is more important that I want to thank you for the wonderful friendship you extended to me this past 2008. Also, I want to wish you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year. May this Christ-fest and the imminent 2009 bring you everything that is beautiful and admirable, provide all your needs with blissful exuberance, present you with that which is edifying and inspiring, grant you blessed peace and harmony, and bestow upon you a myriad of worthwhile pleasures and breathtaking moments with close friends and dear family.

The background is just amazing Dear Hernan as your work with that Raynox 250. The result is a great macro with amazing sharpness and details.

My best wishes for the New Year.

Hi Hernan,
This is an excellent macro mf.
And the beetle is doing something interesting..
Not only cleaning its antennae, but he's getting ready to open a bottle of wine with this corkscrew! ;-}}
Very well done,
Howard
