Great comp with the broad curves/lines of the leaf, the techs look right on the money Roberto.
I especially like the subtle metallic colors, and those antennae of course :smile:
Well done :wavey:

Roberto - Colorful insect nicely photographed. Like Howard, I too like the antenna here, pretty cool. The DOF is reducing to the right...not sure a different angle would have fixed that without making the insect out of focus.
