A very pleasing contribution to the open challenge

An excellent macro Gin Tay, perfectly executed. Great control of the tiny DOF with good sharp detail where it matters most. Good lighting and colour throughout, I love the iridescence on the wings. This is not an easy shot to get right, you've done well to get this excellent result, well done


Thank you so much for reviewing & analyzing the tiny details.

Truly appreciated your comments.

cheers

They look a little embarrassed that you have caught them in such an intimate moment! Nicely done.

Great macro. I like the little voyeur (who is very little indeed).
