    This pair seem to be involved in sexual gymnastics they were every which way on this stem. I liked the way his eye was popping over the top, but she looked like she was being choked!
    All C&C welcome.

    Hi Jon. A very nice behavioral image - also illustrating the sexual dimorphism in this species. Getting both individuals within your DOF is always a challenge for this type of image and you did a good job in that regard considering the position of the two damsels. I also like the even light and the clean background. You might consider cropping a little off the left as there seems to be a lot of "empty" space there. Very well done!

    Thanks Steve - hadn't thought about that but it makes sense.
