Small iridescent Black beetle on a stem

the bug is hiding by that flower to keep from being seen by the birds..wink. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this beetle clinging to the grass blade by a flower is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer is great. good eye and great job overall.

Excellent close up, Susan, showing this iridescent little beetle clearly showing your reflection as he runs up the Plantain stem. I like the vertical presentation. Excellent lighting and focus showing great clarity. Very good composition. Suzanne
