Balan - This is really nice. Crisp, clean background and the perch in focus from top to bottom. Whats not to like here ?

What a great shot of this most interesting insect, Balan! Excellent sharpness and the comp is spot on. I really love the 'droplets' on the antennas!

Balan,

Nicely done :toast: ! The larger photo is very impressive. Owlflies are uncommonly seen treasures of the insect world. This is a good natural history shot as it shows the perching behavior..................Jim
