    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)
    I like the image, although as mentioned the lighting is harsh, not sure i would get to close to these guys.

    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!

    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.
