An excellent macro, and the yellow patch at the top kept my eyes going back and forth between it and the beetle and helped me take in the entire photo easily. The effect is stronger in the larger versions, too.

No need to insult the poor thing, though; I think its legs are quite lovely.

Thanks John........glad you like it.

I'll apologise for insulting it if I see it again. I hope your taste in legs only applies to insects :-)))
