Wonderful macro of very beautiful colors and great detail.....!!!
Jerome, c'est ecoeurant! me pas 5 minutes que tu utilise cet objectif ( dont nous attendons toujours le paiement de la location d'ailleurs!) et tu nous sors une petite merveille, que j'essaye de choper depuis deux mois! a ton avis j' essaye quoi le gaz ou la corde tout de suite! a plus et merci pour la sympathique journee d hier!
Je ne comprend pas, pourtant j'ai bien postle chue de 150 kopeks pour la location, depuis le mois Juillembre, le facteur a du le perdre... Bon je vais m'enfuire au Vuella oriental pour iter les reprailles... Allez, soyons sieux, laisse tomber la corde ou le gaz et essaye quelques anns de pratiques de la macro, et tu vas voir, vient tout seul force de perser.
If I believed there was such a thing as a truly perfect shot, I think I'd nominate this one. The cropping job you did is truly phenomenal, putting just enough emphasis on both the flower and the moth. Plus the colors are subtle and sweet, and everything that needs to be in focus is very sharply so. Good show.
Wow! That is an incredible shot! The clarity is amazing and so are the colors! Perfect shot! :)
Demonstration que ce n'est pas l'objectif qui fait la photo, mais le photographe !! Ceci dit, on ne sait toujours pas le nom de la bestiole. Je perseve.
Le clic au bon moment !!! J'ai deja essaysur cette bestiole mais pas reussi... Pour son petit nom c'est un Sphinx colibri ou Moro Sphinx je crois BRavo Jerome , vraiment superbe :)
very well caught !
now dis is what photography is all about. dis is d bomb
Brilliant work!!!!!!!! re-fueling captured perfectly!!!!!!!!
Quite impressive....
I've seen this insect before, and you did a great job of capturing this guy as they are quite fast..I love my 100mm and I see you are too! Nice work here! Aloha!
Very cool... TFS
