This is a great close up of the Stinkbug on the leaf. The contrasting colors provided by Mother Nature are awesome as is your focus of the subject. Framing is fine, exposure is good and it is an interesting image.

Ekaterina,
A very beautiful picture of this Shied Bug standing in a leaf with the light from behind glowing through the leaf. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

What a great shot of this stink Bug. Such good focus and detail shown here. The colors of this bug are well captured, and the light green background allows him to stand out. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Ekaterina, Great shot of this stink bug peeking over the leaf! The lighting shows the underbelly really well! The blurred background and the focus really allow us to see the bug. The angle of the shot makes this a great shot for the Unexpected angles contest!
Good Luck, I enjoyed!

That's a really great shot for the Unexpected angles contest Ekaterina!
The focus is crystal clear with excellent dof, showing wonderful detail in not only the stink-bug but the leaf too. I love how the sun shines through the leaf showing us a shadow of the rest of the bug. Perfect composition, lighting and colours. Very good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Elisabetta, I don't find them ugly even though I don't like them in my garden, it's fascinating to see little critters up close:))

You've got an eye for nature photography! The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light, shadows, and vibrant colours makes this shot stand out. A fine effort! Good luck!
