Hi Peter,
A nice capture of these two hoverflies in a gossip position. Very well composed with sharp details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Peter!

Excellent central composition. The colors are quite sober and balanced. I believe that the timing of 1/125 has a lot to do with the outcome of the work. The details of the flower, and insects are both superb, the note information, as always, very good.

Thanks for sharing, have a good day!
