That is seriously close. Maybe a reflector on the right would have added a little fill-in? Still a great shot! Well done

I like the magnification of the berry and the colour contrast!

Many thanks everyone- the bug ( I wish I knew more about insects!)was about 3mm- about the same size as one of the segments of the larger Tayberries. I have seen larger examples of this bug so I can only assume it is quite young.Some serious magnification! Nicely done How small was the bug?
Cheers, Gary

Another perfect macro shot from Gary.
It has incredible fine details. I really like the contrast of the colours of the bug and the tayberry.
