Macro and Flora Image of the Week for the week ending October 12th, 2012: Satish Ranadive - Jewel Beetle

Congratulations Satish!

Taken yesterday morning. First time I have photographed this beetle belonging to family Buprestidae.
I liked its colors so much; I thought to share it. Cropped and sharpened. One OOF branch just above the perch is removed in background.

ISO: 640, 1/1250 @ F: 7.1.Evaluating metering. Exposure bias: 0.
White balance: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.
