Hi Felipe and Cristina,
I love your small guardian - it's a beautiful shot with the "fruit" in the BG.
Excellent sharpness and a wonderful glance on the wings. Very well done, thanks and greetings

Wow.. the sharpness on the insect is really good. I would love to put more focus on it because there's alot Out of Focus here coz of DOP. So i tried a workshop to crop it. I hope you like it. And thanks for your comments. :)

el impacto ya no es tan grande Felipe luego de tu primera entrega y después de develar la belleza de estos hongos, pero la composición con las hojas y la baya desenfocadas es realmente muy agradable.
Me encanta también la versión del Workshop, que estéticamente se aprecia mejor que con este POV, aunque es más pequeña en su encuadre.
Sólo de preguntón... tienes idea qué es ese diminuto objeto blanco que se ve sobre el hongo... podrá ser algún tipo de huevo?
Buen finde para ambos... Ricardo

Nice follow up shot to the other one. This is very amusing, he does appear to be watching the acorn. I really love the POV here. Again light, colours and the perfect sharp details are all wonderful

Another great shot of this fungilover:-) That amazing cap and the acorn made the composition strong! i like all of them.

btw, thank you for informed me about the id, i'm very happy now, because i tried to find the correct id hardly yesterday night, but i didn't get it. Now, i know who is this guy! - Heleomyzid Fly - Suillia sp.

Thank you and best regards!

Hi Felipe,

Although I like more your previous similar image, this is still a nice pict. Angle is not so attractive like before coz BG is now a bit distracting.
TFS,
Musin
