Grande Thiago, esta é, para mim, sua melhor foto até agora. Ponto de vista muito bom; ficou ótimo esse "monstro" nos encarando bem de frente. Excelente nitidez, e levando-se em conta que você não utilizou flash, mais um ponto a seu favor.

Gosto muito do fundo desfocado, conseguido não sei se pela pequena abertura (f/3,5), se pelo trabalho no PhotoShop ou se por ambos. De qualquer forma, o fundo desfocado realça ainda mais a figura medonha.

Parabéns mesmo, Thiago. Percebo que nós do TrekNature teremos o privilégio de conferir outras belas fotos suas.

LOVE this macro! What detail!

Dear Thiago!
A very nice portrait of so black bee! I really like this species :)
According to technical aspects of photo: I like the DOF and POV, also a composition is nice. Only the BG seems to be not natural, but on the other hand it makes a good contrast beetles the insect and substrate.
Best regards,
Radomir
