Wonderful shot Catherine.
This type of mating position is pretty much normal for these Craneflies.
I have a few shots similar to this but yours is much better.
Well done.

Hello Catherine
An excellent shot of a couple of mating Craneflies
+: Sharpness++, DOF++, pose++, POV++, composition++, colours and lighting.
-: the OOF white flower is a bit of a distraction but that's no great minus.
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hola Catherine,

no solamente es destacable el eenfoque en esta fotografía, ya que destaca en muchos más aspectos, sobre todo lo bien captado del espacio y un fondo muy apropiado que realza el motivo principal. Formato y encuadre casi inmejorables.
Excelente !!

Buen fin de semana: Josep Ignasi.

Bonjour Catherine,
Très acrobatique, en effet. Excellente image, pas facile à réaliser. J'aime bien ta présentation qui inclut aussi un peu de l'environnement, très jolie la marguerite floue à l'arrière-plan. Image originale.
Une bonne fin de semaine
Anne

Hi Catherine. Now that looks hard work to me. You did well to capture this moment . With such fine detail. Your use of the light has given clear brigh colours. I like the way they are just holding on the the dried plants. well done TFS.
Nick..
