Kristof, once again, your keen eye for what makes a photo remarkable is all here. There's much interest and the clarity of the subject is outstanding! I must ask you to tell me if you use a special macro lens or exactly what are you shooting with? Thanks - Patty
Great work, Kristof. Composition is exceptional, and few would notice the part played by the single
diagonal strands, in framing and enclosing the subject.
Exceptioal.
Superb shot, your focusing and composition is spot on. Looks great against such a clear background, the colour of the beetle really stands out against the greenery.
If i were to be critical i'd say the DOF is slightly too small, i'd prefer all the wire and beetley thing to be in a little bit more focus. Having said that i've tried many a shot like this and sometimes the aperture has to be compromised for a suitable shutter speed, espeically if, like me, you haven't got the abiltiy to use the higher ISO settings due to problems with image quality.
Don't get me wrong though, this is a great shot and i've just had a peak at the rest of your gallery and am off to investigate further:) Top work!
Excellent macro shot, this one is just perfect !!!
Even though I don't like insects I had to watch this picture and admit that you captured this guy really superb. Very good work from you...
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

What can I say? I can find nothing wrong with this. I like the simplicity of it; clean background, simple wire perch. The detail throughout the bugs body is rich. Nice work.

Great macro and everything. The only thing that bothers me, and that's no responsibility of yours, is that the insect looks very gooyey - well to much for me. Great job.
Here we go again! lol...."feel free to be critical" oh my goodness....lol...well, the thing is this little guy is gorgeous in his own right, and you have managed to get such a perfect closeup of him...how fortunate you are to do so..I wish I could even get close enough and have enough patience to sit and wait for this sort of pic to happen...wow...its amazing...bravo my dear friend..Verena
greetings,
