Congratulations Anita Rakestraw
Choreographed

Came across a bunch of these (are they mayflies?) in shrubs along the shore at the lake and was taken by the symmetry of these two as they perched beside one another. I was less excited about the background oof leaf....so want to know what you think.

Would it help to use Photoshop to create a uniform background color?
