Hi David
A tad dark and lacking contrast and a little too far left and up, But thats being a real nitty picker :razz: :wink: :wink: :wink:
Great stuff though !
Cheers

an interesting behavioural shot, I've never found any of my dung flies doing this :smile: It does all look a bit dark though and a bit more eye contact would have been nice. Not always easy, I know.

John has covered all the nits that I can see. Interesting behavioural shot.

As they have their minds on other things I think a slightly different viewpoint would have been in order, if possible, more to the left as viewed, particularly having this one in the bag already.

Not a great fan of completely black backgrounds as this, perhaps a tad less power on the flashes, as this has the hallmarks of flash fall off.

Still a very nice shot, well seen and captured.
