[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A sunny day in spring in Extremadura. Just 20 km's north of Trijullo I went trough an 'arroyo' and found this species on this branch. Although he didn't allow me to come close he kept on coming back to the same place. I switched lenses and decided to try it with 100-400mm. In this picture you can clearly see why it is called forcipatus....

Nice capture Jacob with excellent POV to show great detail of the insect.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, sharpness, focus, color, lighting, framing, background.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: the lack of the values of the image.

Very good presentation.
TFS and greetings... Ricardo
