I never knew what a long horned beetle looked like until now cracking shot.

Cracking DoF Guy, nice even lighting and a super-smooth BG :toast:

Perhaps a smidge tight on the right antennae - PERHAPS :biggrin:

Very nice . Agree about the tight crop.No big deal though.

Hi Guy

What a fantastic creature (the beetle I mean, not you - although I'm sure you are too :biggrin:).

Lovely composition and very well taken

Guy,

I like this a lot. As Andy said, it's a touch tight on the right hand side, but it's minor.

Cheers,

Dan.

A lovely photo of a nice beetle (Leptura (=Strangalia) quadrifasciata), Guy.

As usual, the composition is great and the DoF control spot on.
