Hi Jose

A very good macro of this very interesting insect. I think it's our modern day Triceratops :)
The details you managed to get are really nice and sharp and the light on it is also great. Very good contrast with the BG and excellent fill-in effect from the flash.
Perhaps just a bit shallow on the DOF, but still a very nice capture.

Bravo and TFS

A wonderful close-up of this beetle. I love the pose on the branch. Good natural colors with a metallic look. Fine details of the body, face, legs, and antennae.

Hola Jose Ramón
¡Impresionante el bichejo éste con esa imponente armadura! Con este enfoque tan espectacular parece que se sale de la pantalla. Menos mal que sólo lo parece. Por cierto, ¿qué tamaño tiene?
Felicidades por esta foto tan extraordinaria y muchas gracias por compartirla.
Un fuerte abrazo

Ciao Jose,
splendido primo piano di questo scarabeo, che conosco bene.
Sei riuscito a mettere in evidenza le sue caratteristiche più evidenti, le lunghe corna laterali ed il cornetto centrale, che lo rendono così inconfondibile.
Bravo,
Marcello

Dear Jose Ramon!
This is really great picture, so sharp and detailed. I like a lot beautiful colours and metalic reflection in this beetle. By the way, I believe that it is not very common situation to see this species in such pose (this is epigeic beetle known as walking on the ground surface).
Beautiful work my Friend!
Best greetings,
Radomir

Hi José, me again,
the same excellent technique, and here you present us a truly sensational beetle, the Typhaeus. It must be hard for Hollywood to invent any extraterrestrial monsters that are'nt already represented in our fauna. Thanks also for the excellent note. I make this a fovorite of mine.
My best regards

Hallo Jose
This is really close as close can be. Stunning clarity on the detail of this insect. A real top of the range shot. I think if I wanted to I can count each fine hair on its body. Amazing details on the eyes. A great image, with excellent focus and sharpness which you presented in a most specialized manner. Thanks for sharing. I appreciated this one very much, as it is a great image.
Kind regards from a very cold and wet South Africa
