Hi Dan,

Nice perch selection. Very sharp Bluets. The color looks great and the wings are very crisp. I don't know what all you did with the background but most of it looks good to me. The only thing I don't like is the white patch that runs vertically behind the wings. I find it somewhat distracting.

The subjects and the pose is super. The comp is nice and you did a great job with the plane of focus. And you did a great job with the challenging light.

For me the BG is a little too bright and the contrast is a somewhat strong. I wish you could have bracketed the focus to somehow have sharp eyes on both D-flys but I dont think this will bother most people.
