Hi Morkel, maybe a crop halfway between this and the previous post which shows the whole circular tail of the scorpian as this is the trademark feature of this critter. I like the different tones or colours in these shots.
Hi Morkel, amazing beast! I prefer the original post. Because of the cut-offs of the scorpion, this version is a little messy IMO. It would have been nice if the head of the beetle he's holding would have been IF.
I totally agree with the others - that curled tail is the neatest part of the image IMO and without an in focus face on the beetle, the closer crop only exagerates it more. I'd crop the first image in tighter and go with it.
Hi Morkel. Great action and a very special sighting. I still prefer the original post but if you want to crop closer I would only crop to remove the back leg so that the image ends just after the 3rd leg.:)
Morkel, I also prefer the original version (which is a superb shot); in this one it takes a while to figure out what's what, and the beautiful curving tail is lost.
