Hi Clint,

Superb shot of the Lily Beetle
Very nice composition with a excellent pose and POV.
Fantastic details on the Beetle and Lily and perfect exposure.
Beautiful colours too.

The red against the white really brings out the beetle! I love how you muted the green and made the leaves soft. And the flower itself is sharp and the white is perfect. I haven't really paid attention to the insects inside flowers, but now you've got me curious. An excellent shot and composition. You should be proud.

Hello Clint,
This flower and the lily beetle are very attractive. The contast with the background is excellent. It's a very graphical shot.
You are right about lily beetle: they are very voracious. Last year, my three lilies were eaten in one night by 4 or 5 of this beetles...
Best regards,
Catherine

Dainty subjects and a dainty composition, Clint.
The red Beetle on the white flower looks beautiful, though it is a pest.
Very sharp, clear and colourful image.
The shallow DOF works wonders here.

Hi Clint!

Both of your lily beetle pictures are marvellous and it's a pleasure to me to discover your gallery. I'm impressed by the quality and the diversity of your pictures. This one pleases especially for its delicate composition and the richness of the details. You also made a very good job concerning the lighting that is not always easy with white flowers contrasting with dark objects or backgrounds.

Kind regards

Hi Clint,
good, focused shot with doused light. You avoided the many reflections that come from the smooth surface of the Lily beetle. Nice composition!
Best regards

Mucha limpieza en los colores y granb elegancia del conjunto Clint. Buenos contrastes y un fondo muy acertado con la difuminación de la base de la planta que es muy efectiva y da profundidad a la toma.
Un excelente trabajo.

Hi Clint,
fantastic picture!
The bug and the flower are captured very sharp.
The picture looks like being painted with this great background and the blurred part of the flower.

Hi Clint

It was nice to meet you at the BWC the other week. I hope you got some lovely shots.

This like all your image is stunning. Wonderfully detailed and composed. I can see why you get some comments about PP work on this site. You should try Trek Lens. You photos will be grately admired there.

TFS

Karan

P.S. congrats on the Digital SLR photography magazine cover

What a crystal clear focus and excellent point of view. DOF enough to have the entire subject in focus but nothing else. One of the best pics I have seen. TFS
