Hi Fartash,
Both the capture are very good on focus, composition and POV. But the use of flash here have somewhat ruined the beauty of the insect. How about getting it without flash. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Fartash,
Great shot of this Jewel bug from a fine POV. It seems the underside is as colourful as the upperside! Excellent sharpness and fine colours. I like the dark background too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Fartash,
We don't often get to see the underside of these Jewell bugs but you have made a great macro capture from this POV. Though a little dark, this has good sharpness and is set in a fine composition with neutral BG.
TFS and best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Fartash,
Stunning capture of this insect!
I like very much the vivid colours and its saturation.
The fill flash worked great, you got a subtle extra light without any burning.
It's very good the vertical composition made.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Fartash,
Wonderful close-up shot of this colourful Jewel Bug. Very sharp and clear details here and the colours are majestic. The sheen/glaze on its body looks fabulous and it stands out well against the darkish BG. The focus and lighting are superb here. Excellent POV to portray it and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Gran acercamiento y colores preciosos. Quizás falte algo de luz, pero la toma es estupenda. Saludos Fartash.

Most pictures you take turn magical with combinations of color and light. This particular is no exception. Your notes are becoming a study for me in these sciences of the natural world. I must pay tuition soon? Thank you for letting us into your fantastic world.

I have not been able to stay regular on TN these days, so I missed a bit of your work, Fartash.
The Jewel Bug you have shot from an innovative point of view looks wonderful. I can see its underside and legs from close proximity and enjoy the fascinating colours and textures on them.
It is a great shot for which you deserve appreciation.
Well done and TFS.

Gorgeous portrait of this beautiful beetle. The contrast of the reds in the under belly and the iridescent green of the outer shell is wonderfully captured, as are the differences in textures. Well done.

Hi Fartash,
Lovely metallic colors. Crisp clear image and great color clarity. Nicely composed image.
