So cute! Excellent details and sharpness, love the comp. The light was a bit strong, but you handled it well. Loi

Hi Ian - very nice image. I agree with Loi on the sharpness, detail and handling of light. In an ideal world the one on the left would not be angled slightly away.

TFS,
Rachel

Hello Ian,

This really works for me, I adore these little chaps and I could watch them interact for hours on end!
I guess the light couldn't be to harsh, judging by the positioning of the tails - they normally use their tails as umbrellas when the sun is too hot. Beautiful detail and the flower makes this very special, I enjoyed viewing very very much, thank you Ian!

Kind regards,
