My reflection on a Beetle
Small iridescent Black beetle on a stem21 total reviews
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Exotic image.
Excellent choice of subject.
Shimmering bug so shiny it reflects some foliage or is it the shutterbug?!? ;-))
Zenplistic presentation.
Nice Thirds...
Subdued lighting.
Pin sharp focusing.
Tall format framing suits well.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

HA! Now I have seen reflections in mirrors, plate glass of windows in a building and waters of a lake. This is the first time I have seen a reflection in the shiny shell of a beetle. How unique Susan. The leading lines of the stalks take the eye right to the beetle and your reflection. The white plant filiments add a nice contrasting element to theblack of the beetle shell. Cool looking image Susan ~ Steve

Nice, Susan - that is certainly one way to take a selfie. Probably not too many others like that. But aside from that, it is a very nice photograph. Good lighting and well composed.

The reflection is a neat capture. The shininess of the beetle captured you well :) I like the plant too with the interesting appearance to those feathery flower spikes.

Wow Susan, this is just fabulous - everything about this shot is a delight to the eye. And the reflection in the thorax just puts the lid on it. Stunning work. Sandra

Comment from karen zima
Amazing shot, Susan. I can't believe that you have captured your reflection so perfectly in the beetle's head. You have to look close, but it's there. The composition on this one is very well done with the criss-crossed branches and the beetle intersecting them. Love the smooth, soft background and the details in the flower and bug. Nice job, Susan.

A superb shot. The plant is beautiful and the beetle with the reflection of you and your camera is outstanding. The colors are great and the iridescence of the beetle's shell is fantastic.
