Great shot Dave, caught in the act of feeding. Viewed larger you can see every spec of pollen and again the amazing eyes these creatures have. It's a good POV and the colors are great also.

BR,

Holger

I always appreciate and respect any feedback you provide and try

to learn from it. I will reciprocate for all who comment. I value

honest feedback and try to do the same for others as best as I

can. Thanks. Have fun shooting.

Dave,

This is a great shot that shows lots of detail in the larger view.  Bravo.  BTW, just saw your comment in Site Help about critiques not showing up, so I want to see if this works.  

Nice close-up. You might want to ease up on the sharpening a bit though. The flower petals especially seem a bit oversharpened. I know I have more than a couple images with the same issue. Just my 2¢.

Holger and Bill thanks for the feedback.

Siegfried, thanks for the observation and suggestion - very helpful feedback. Greatly appreciated.

Excellent! 7!

Best regards, Tina

Tina, thank you for your comment. You have so great children images.

Bravo Dave, I could never achieve this!

Best regards

Hi Dave,

  Wonderful close-up image with beautiful colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Pierre, I think you could achieve this with your open aperture concept and some patience. This was taken in a butterfly exhibit. I doubt I would ever find this in the wild.

Patsy, I always find your images interesting and inspiring.

Very Good (6)

Tony, thanks for the visit and comment. A 6 from you is quite positive as I respect your work a lot.

Impressive detail and colours, some people tend to employ a very shallow dof for macro images, shooting with the lens wide open although I am more in favour of seeing more depth across a wider span like this image.......all down to personal taste I suppose! 

Very well done!

Alf, thanks for your comment. I tend to like the larger DOF as well. I also find it more challenging. I keep trying new ways to get it.
