This is a great look at this robberfly, Balan. The green in it's eye is matched nicely with it's perch and the oof background. I think you've positioned it very well creating a good sense of it jumping off this perch to catch its prey and returning for the meal.

Excellent light, colors, details, and the "Predator and Prey" theme's always a winner in the book of Cheek :wink:
Very nice look at this species, I didn't see many of them this season.
Well done!:toast:

Oh, this is a wonderful look into the life and death in the little world. The soft light is perfect for revealing of the intricate details and colors, and your roomy composition gives us a hint of how big the world is compared to these creatures. Excellent.

I'm loving the green theme here, all the way down to the robberfly's eyes.

Wow Balan. this is really nice. Very artistic presentation. It's a good thing these guys aren't 5 feet long. :cool:

Fine details with a great BG...
Posture of the prey (in a way) mimics the posture of the predator!
