    Two great looking cuties, Robert. I like the way both are sharp and compliment each other's pose.

    Hi Robert, great double, and good choice of aperture to get both in perfect focus and sharp. They are pretty much camoflauged against their surroundings, ( not a bad thing for them ) so I would maybe darken the BG a touch to make them pop a bit more. Im sure you are going to have fun with them and look forward to more images.

    Very nice work getting both of them sharp and looking at you.
    I would love to see this species, nowhere near where I live.

    Thank you all very much for all your comments. Much appreciated.
    Stuart - I thought about darkening the background, but I wanted to show how they blend in with their enviroment.

    Great job getting both of them sharp. Love the bg that camouflages them so well.
    Endearing creatures, aren't they? Hope they nest successfully and looking forward to your updates.
