I really hope this insect doesn't bite. I really wouldn't want to meet it at any time. It looks ominous. Composition, shades, tones, colours and background highlight your subject in a pleasing way. Well done.

The way you've captured the natural light in the close-up shot of the robber fly here is stunning! The interplay of shadows and highlights creates such a rich, immersive depth. Well done! Good luck!

You have indeed pictured this robber fly well, and the light is falling on it in such a lovely way. I also like the all dark background for the fly to stand out in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details in every part of the insect. The exposure is just perfect.

The format and tight framing has worked well, and I like the diagonal placement of the robber fly. Indeed a great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Amazing shot. I like the prominent details like the bulky eye, lines, and hairy parts of the legs and body. Excellent angle, superb focus, and great framing placement. A well-fitted Close Up Photo contest entry. Wish you the best!
