Nice photo Carlos!
A bit soft on focus because of the DOF!
Good on colours!

Hi Carlos,

I like the composition with the head in the center. The flower petals all around provide a nice natural frame. It is a bit soft, but that adds to the romantic feel of the picture, together with the pinkish colours. Beautiful light, very good shot!

ID: it's a rose chafer, Cetonia aurata,
Family Cetonidae - flower beetles

Very nice shot. The colors of the beetle stand out exceptionally well against the petals, and the hardness of its carapace make a good contrast with the soft focus of thepetals.
