Hallo Rey,
superb macro of this bizarre and spiny beetle larva. High sharpness brings up nice details of the larva. Background could be a little bit brighter so that outlines of the 'spines' become more visible.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Rey

very sharp and crisp photo !

your guy is quite similar to mine from Panama:

and is probably a larva of a tortoise beetle (Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae or Hispinae now)

Hi Rey,
You got great sharpness and focus on this thiny larvae here. Beautiful details, composition, POV colors and BG. TFS

Hello Rey,
Very detailed and sharp closeup. Well composed, good POV. The dark green BG looks great & serves to set-off your subject well also. Perhaps a slight negative highlight adjustment would counter the flash effect & improve it.
Nice work & TFS!

Oh, great shot. It like to be made from glass. Nice potrait and macro. You should crop to move the dark area on the top and give it a frame. I like this.
Regards,
DT.
