You've caught a great moment here, Carlo! The light is a bit harsh, producing strong shadows, but it seems that you didn't loose a great amount of details in them.

Nicely captured Carlo, are you sure they're not dancing (Sei sicuro che non sono balli di Vespe) :bg3:
I like the image, although as mentioned the lighting is harsh, not sure i would get to close to these guys.

[OvidiuCavasdan]

Great action capture, both heads sharp and clean BG. I like it.

Hey Carlo,
Even though the light is a touch harsh.....you handled it very well and retained all the detail that you needed! I would have preferred if the LH wasp wasn't cut by the FG.....but you captured a rare moment not often seen! Nicely done!

thanks everyone for comments
yes the light is a touch harsh but that was a rare moment and the light was that:bg3:

Hi Carlo. Nice job of capturing this behavior! Both wasps are sharp and you handled the bright light well. I like the way they are using their legs to fend each other off. Well done.

thank you very much Steve
