Bonjour Hendrik,
Magnifique insect sur cette fleurs jaune. Très belle composition, et belles couleurs.
Par contre pas de grains sur le fond sans doute dû à l'agrandissement, cela reste un superbe cliché.
Amicalement

Wonderful picture to demonstrate that... this is not a bee. You can see all the relevant details quite clearly : only two wings, very big eyes meeting at the top of the head, no jaws, very short antennae. This is a Drone Fly, Eristalis tenax, male. You can even see the two lines of dark hair that cross the eyes vertically - typical of E. tenax.

A little lacking in clarity and sharpness.
But this is beautifully composed with fantastic colours.

Hi Hendrik!
I don't have enough time to write a decent comment ;) but the big smiley is, no doubt, well deserved here :)

//Superb POV and very beautiful colours//

Love the tight composition and POV on this macro. There is some issues with the image quality though. You should have reduced this post to 650 pixels to compensate. 6/10 well done.

Excellent composition! It is a bit noisy though and saturation and/or contrast are a too high, which takes away the photorealistic feeling. I love the POV which is very well chosen!
Regards,
Gabi
