Nicely done Cleo. Deserves to be Recognized, At first I though it was a photo.Love your use of colors. Never seen one of these before, but you give a good representation. Thanks for sharing.

a good presentation of this little bug in your chosen medium.I particularly like the structure to your work with the main subject purposely set off to the right of the canvas to allow perception of movement

Great command of color and excellent lighting. Love that you weren't shy with your textures either learned something new about beetles too. Good luck in the competition

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


A very good digital painting, the colors, the shadows in the pedals help accentuate the bug and make it the focal point of your composition. The cast shadow of the bug adds depth and perspective as well.
A very nice digital image you have created.

Best of luck in the contest.

Colorfull piece of art is this and the yellow is so vivid in this and the beetle in this forms a good contrast against the yellow petals,good work...Brian

What an interesting little creature. I am a nature nut, but I don't believe I have ever seen this one... Even as distrustful as they be there is still a kind of beauty there which you have displayed perfectly. Overall, very well structured. Good job.

Comment from FBI GUY


The detailed cropped scene is perfectly balanced and lit. The shadow thrown by the bug adds depth. The tight section of the petal fills the scene perfectly. It may be my glasses, but I feel there is a slight fuzziness or haze but it doesn't hurt the effect of the scene.

I like the scene construction here. We see the subject very clearly in detail and realistic, presented in a close up of his/her environment, the part petals of a sunflower with the sky just peeping through. The yellow and blue are the attracting volours that draw you in to the main focus. Good use of shadows too. Its off the mainline which makes it rather special.
