Gerhard,
quelle image impressionnante, l'insect semble faire un salut, comme les chevaux dressés. Les détails et la couleurs sont vraiment extra.

Hi Gerhard,
Amazing macro!
It was relly great to leave to the computer, you got a unequalled oportunity to shot.
The details got are so sharp and clear, we can have an excellent view of the whole insect.
The composition made is so good with the reflections.
Congratulations and thanks for share.

Great picture with very good quality, the reflection is a great bonus, I think if you could keep the whole reflection in the frame it would be better.

Hello Gerhard,
Brilliant macro shot showing sharp details of this brightly coloured wasp. Good idea to turn the picture - now he's really admiring himself! A pity you cropped a bit off the bottom but even so a great composition!

Brilliant macro,Gerhard!
You have captured this Cuckoo Wasp super sharply and show its colours at its best. Personally I would have kept to the vertical to show how it can get a grip on glass, but that would spoil the theme!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Gerhard,
wow - that's realy wonderful, I love the mirror-effect and the excellent sharpness.
It's not easy to make good shots of metallic insects, sometimes the reflection is too strong. Congrats, you did a perfect job

Very interesting note on a interesting insect.
The concave shape is well to be seen
Brilliant colors perfect composition and crisp clear shot.
As a general rule I dislike non-natural background. Your pic is sure an exception as this surface is beautiful and its color is a real plus for the pic.

Gerhard,

Sorry for slowness of reply, I've been away.

This photo is just amazing! The reflection of this fly is the topping on the cake, it seems as though he checking himself out. The colours are very vivid and show up well due to the flash. I think composition and POV are great, as is the background which does not show any other reflections or distractions which is impressive.

Very cool shot!
TFS

Hi Gerhard

Great shot, the reflection of the wasp really balances the image well and the macro on this is superb. I was wondering whether it might have been possible to remove some of the ghosting in the reflected image by using a polarising filter, then you wouldn't have the second reflection being cut off at the bottom of the frame.

TFS & Cheers
Guy

Excellent capture of this beautiful wasp.
I do remember the theme from Japie and almost forgot your post, but came to my ming when I opened :)
This is a very beautiful and artistic post. I like it as it is, but I would not mind to see more at the bottom to get both reflections into frame.
Best regards, MF.
Hope you follow well!
