Hi Jusni

For a slender skimmer this specimen has a rather large pot-belly (chuckle). I just love this image as you really managed to capture some lovely detail of the insect. Although (this is nit picking) the branch is over exposed the fact remains that the lighting on the subject is spot-on thus providing excellent contrasts and colours.

The BG is splendid leaving nothing for the eye to wonder of and discover anything to distract. The composition is fine too with the skimmer and the branch placed near the diagonal and so almost dissects the frame creating 2 triangles.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
