Hi Andor,

A nice capture of this metallic bug,with good colors and details,I think however that the impact of this capture could have been improved if the beetle was a bit off centered,for example by cropping a bit from the left side,anyway tffs and have a nice weekend

Hi Andor!

Hmm, your palette of photography is getting larger... insects now! Such a difficult subject. I have tried many times, still no satisfying results. But you present us a beautiful little monster that looks as if you had sprayed it with carneval colours!

:-)

I'm kidding. But it's a fact that the colours are surprising and amazing.

Kind regards

Hello Andor,
Seems like this little bugger has put her best dress on..!
The finer details in the shiny appearance is well captured, narrow DoF works well and isolates the insect nicely...
A well balanced composition!
Greetings,
Pablo
