Hello Carlo
i'm italian I know you from a forum perhaps Natura e foto. I don't practise macro so deep, but semi macro,so I haven't too experience in this. I can say it seems to be a good capture, sharp, well positioned.
But please, I wrote previuosly a moderator the technical data, it helps to understand the technical problems, and when it was shot. I write in english because seems a form of courtesy for the others, of course.

Great details, exposure, and depth of field. I like the simple setting. IMO the composition is a little bit tight.

Looking forward to more!

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely photo. Simplicity at its best.

I really like the nice pp'n on this one. Nothing is over done and yet it has a ton of detail, contrast and nice soft colour.

And yes, I would also be curious about the camera, lens and settings for this one.

Nice image. I like the tight crop. A bit soft in the midsection, you may want to try another sharpness pass in it............Otherwise, nice BG and diagonal comp on the fly.

DId you use a tripod?

[subhrashis]

Really beautiful details here!

Was this a single exposure or stack?

[Galliani Carlo]

thanks for comments
single exposure and I used a tripod

Hi Carlo. Thanks for adding the shooting specs. Lovely even light, a great background, and very nice sharpness and detail within your DOF. I wonder if the image would be even stronger if you had used f/11 or f/16 to get a little more DOF. :) Overall, this is well done.

[Ken Childs]

Hi Carlo, this looks good as is but I agree with Steve that more DOF would take this one over the top. Nicely done! :)

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Carlo,
Everyone has covered the DOF already.....but I think this still works pretty well!!! Nicely done overall!!!

[Julie Kenward]

Stunning image, Carlo! I think that back wing could use a slight adjustment around the edge. There's a bit of a green cast right where it meets the BG that I bet you could clone out and that would draw less attention to the fact that it's the only part of the image that's at all OOF.

Very nicely done with the 180/ext. tube combo!

thanks everyone for comments and suggestion :)

Wonderful detail!
