Hola Ricardo:
Finalmente se te dio y has obtenido una bonita captura de esta abeja muy huidiza pero no imposible de fotografiar. Es cierto que Hernàn tiene un don especial que hace que los "animalejos" se queden bastante quietos.
En cuanto a tu macro, es tan buena que has conseguido fotografiar la sombre de la minùscula avispa. Congratulaciones, no tengo otras palabras. Ah! Muy buena tambièn la nota y la informaciòn sobre la imàgen
Saludos.

Hi Ricardo,
A superbly composed macro. Vibrant yellows and gold colors. The green metallic sheen of the insect looks great due to the fine detail. Great camera work.

Hello Ricardo!

Very colorfull and sunny picture. Yellow BG looks good, but of course, this small bee is the best. I like its green shinning body. Perfect composition with rays made from petals.

Hi Ricardo,
This is a wonderful macro! This green color is stunning and we can appreciate all those nice details on this tinny fly and on the flower as well:-) I like this composition with this nice marigold flower and I think that all the colors really fit together even if you didn't place this fly there on purpose :) Very good POV and exposure too. Well done again. Thanks,
Claudine
PS I'm sure that Saguzar will be honored :)

Hola Ricardo,
Ante todo te agradezco por tu dedicatoria, me gusta mucho porque ademas has publicado uno de mis insectos favoritos, porque es bellisimo y no molesta para nada.
Lo curioso es que parece una de mis numerosas fotos sobre esta especie, incluso sobre una calendula, que en el jardin es una de las flores que permite fotografiarlas bien y donde se posan durante mas tiempo.
Gracias otra vez.

Looks like a studio shot of a celebrity model with lights set to perfection. Needless to say, your "model" has turned out very handsome in this fantastic image, Ricardo.
Thanks for your very constructive comment on my picture of Plain Tiger. Sony P200 is not much of a camera for nature photography in my opinion. Moreover, I started using it during my trip to India recently and relied mostly on auto settings.
Thanks for sharing this lovely image.
Regards.

Hello Ricardo,
with breathtaking colours and an exctiting composition you have created an image of high impact and vitality.
Details as good as can be with the available equipment at such a close distance.
In my opinion the image is so strong that it does not need any border that is decorating but slightly distracting.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Quizas una de las fotos más descriptivas de esta preciona abeja de las que has publicado hasta ahora.
La relación calidad-equipo utilizado es inmejorable.
Con fotos como esta o como algunas producidas con la F717 o la Canon S2-IS y otras... a veces uno se plantea si merece la pena hacer de porteador con todo el equido reflex por el monte... :D
