Hola Ricardo.
Otra maravillosa foto, me gusta la acción congelada, en el momento justo de arribar a la flor. Los colores y detalles son muy buenos. También me gusta el efecto de las alas en movimiento, parecen casi no existir.

Hi Ricardo,
Your macro are always so impressive! It is incredible how you manage to catch this flying Hoverfly with this great sharpness! I am surprised that the 1/320 shutter speed worked that good ;) Colors and composition are really beautiful! TFS,

Excellent macro shot again. Perfect DOF. Very good exposure and contrast. Shame that you had to use such a slow shutter speed, I would have liked to see the wings frozen. I wonder where the rest of it's legs are?!

Hello Ricardo,
Wow, this is excellent. I have so much respect for all of you people who can capture flying insects with macro equipment, that's real camera work. It's a lovely shot, great detail and DOF, perfect exposure and wonderful vibrant colours. The composition combined with the shallow DOF is great, just two foreground objects perfectly placed against the rich green background. Excellent work.
Regards,
Adrian

Que bueno que la luz, y tu aprovechamiento de la profundidad de campo te permitieron consegir esta toma sin flash, se ve muy natural. Incluso la flor esta clara y limpia en todos los planos. Felicidades por la captura.
¡¡¡ Asi me gusta, demostrando que las vijas compactas nunca mueren!!!
PD: Por cierto, ante ayer encendi la sony y parecia que se habia muerto el sensor... casi me da un infarto. No habia imagen, la reinicie, cambie tarjeta, etc... nada. Por primera vez despues de casi 30000 fotos tuve que darle al boton de "reset" para que volviera a funcionar como siempre. Que susto!!!

Hi Ricardo!

This is simply masterpiece! We all know how hard is to take good photo of hoverfly inflight, especially with no dSLR camera. And you did it perfectly my friend! Not only fly is detailed and sharp, but also composition is very good. Bright yellow flower looks very good, but insect is of course the best. Superb work!

Hola Ricardo,
Una temporización exacta que ha dejado este precioso sírfido paralizado, con absoluta nitidez. Maravillosos colores y nitidez y una composición sobresaliente con todo en su sitio. La flor no se queda atrás, dando a la foto una alegría desbordante.
Un saludo,

Hi Ricardo,
this is a beautiful in-flight shot.
The details are very good. the stripes on the fly are well seen, I the shallow DOF brings out the subject well from the BG.
Great work, my friend.

Hi Ricardo.
Perfectly composed shot by arrangement of the hoverfly and flowers (on diagonal) and by colour tones (from left to right). I like the timing and excellent reflection of petals, blurred colourful BG and sharp image of the hoverfly. Skillfully done in flight shot. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.
