[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just when i thought it was time to go home and was
closing the lab, i saw these two crane flies very
attached to each other sitting outside on the window.

ok, no problem, got my cam which i always have with me
at work, went outside and tried a few shots -
but the bg, our lab from the inside, looked not so good.

so i went back in and taped a white piece of paper
on the inside just behind them. that was better and
i did not have to use a flash which only gave
annoying reflections on the glass.

the white bg was boring of course, so i changed it
into lightblue in photoshop, not so exciting,
but better than plain white - maybe somebody has a better idea? :-)

A second view from underneath can be seen in the WS-section.

Hello Thorsten,
Wonderful capture.I liked POV,details,sharpness,simple BG and composition a lot.
TFS...:-)

Hi Thorsten,
was Du aber auch alles siehst - sieht toll aus mit dem blauen Hintergrund. Richtig abstrakt wie sie so in der Luft "schweben", gefällt mir, Danke und Gruß

Hi Thor,
I feel you did a great thing by placing the white paper for BG, especially for tiny insects with very slim legs like these two. Result is superb, very sharp and great details. Excellent shot. Well executed.

hi thorsten
ce cliché est meilleur que celui du WS,c'est une bonne idée que vous decrivez dans la note et un bon travail.bien vu.

Hi Thor. I like the WS version. Amazing they sat long enough for you to apply the paper bg. Gets to show that lovers are in a world of their own and don't mind peeping Thors.
Cheers
Otto

Quick stop them - I was plagued by the things this year and we certainly don't need any more of them!

Excellent details and a nice simple composition

Hello Thorsten,
Perfect, simple and art-like composition. A nice way to look at the nature. Great accompanying note.
Best greetings,
Michal

I like this capture.
I had to read the note to realise there was a glass, I was wondering how you took this "clean" capture with only the insects seen :)
The contrast is lovely and the composition and framing very original. TFS and regards, Felipe.

Hi Thor,
Nice macro and good shot

Well done
Alex

Hello Thorsten!

Great simplicity of this capture! Less is more! Wonderful minimalism and... great scene ;) Very well done.

Regards
Jacek
