author I did not get what was happening until I looked at the high res..fa la la la!...do you think you could crop closer to the bugs? I think it would have a greater impact on your great catch! I will hold my vote

I saw it before the crop & i agree...it's better now author!
I hope they use protection

Well done author!!!!! Karaflazz do they make condoms that small????? Ha Ha you kill me!

This is a Soldier Beetle,and this is Absolutely Stunning, Im so into macro shots, You did a Wonderful Job.

Amazing .... well done author

excellent work..........good crop.

Exhibisionistic little critters! Nice pict. author

nice capture

nice shot. A very narrow crop - from the left to near the chick, and from the right just near the chick's butt - might emphasize the narrowness of their beaks and how they line up.

very good

Unique image! GL!

Lovely

Warm colors convey emotions from simple optimism to strong caress, energy and warmth...Interesting catch! Good luck to you!

Thanks everyone. These little birds are great subjects and fun to watch.

Congrats on your placement!

Lovely view and an interesting shot. I wish I was there, bugger it all.
