Lovely. Nice clean BG. A further narrower aperture might have helped get the male into better focus.

The low angle enhances the composition. Nice clean background. The colours are lovely. Agree you could have tried a narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the previous comments. I like the lower perspective. A narrow aperture would have been good. The shutter speed would have reduced, however, since these fellows were not moving, I think it would not have hit the sharpness.

Cheers,

This is so much better than my Pic ! And you got them in the open ! Why f6.3 ?


The colouration of the Kaas Tiger beetles is little different from the ones I saw in Kerala ..

[Jitendra Katre]

thanks everybody...
to Vikram-f/6.3 was an attempt to increase the DOF, but as you rightly said this is a very fast moving subject and I could get only couple of shots. as others say I should have increased the f-value and (maybe ISO too) even more to get more DOF...thanks.

Lovely image Jitendra. I like the colours. The sharpness is nice. Thanks for sharing.
