NIce, and different with the waterdrop - I'd be tempted to crop so you dont see the white part of the grass - it competes for attention a little. Tristan

Interesting piece of activity caught Des, and nicely taken :toast:

That's different! I think if you crop as Tristan suggested, you'll have an excellent photo.

Now, is this a dew drop or a sugar dew? Not sure whether these creatures excrete sugary liquid from their buts... Fine shot. The droplet (whatever it is) makes the shot. Composition works well for me, although I feel the levels could be adjusted for a little more punch.

Yes, a great behavioural shot against an excellent BG.
