A very interesting shhot, Ahmet.
It is not often that we see such clear details on a bat, and in such good light.
Great eye contact and good colors on this cute little bat.
Unusual pose and good POV.
TFS. : )

Hello Ahmet,
Very cute little bat. It looks like a young one. Very good exposure using a flash and good details too. Well done. Just make sure not to bother these creatures too much.

Regards,
Shahar.

Dr.cum çok güzel bir meyve yarasası fotoğrafı. Mağara duvarında doğal ortamında çok sevimli durmuş. Ben de aynı türün karanlık arka planda başka bir fotosunu ekledim.

Hello Ahmet!
Great shot of a very interesting species! I saw some European bats before (please check here for details) but this is really amazing! How big is it? I am asking because it looks rather small :)
Very good sharpness, DOF, POV, and details. I like also colouration of this photo and informative note.
Bravo and thank you for showing this picture! It is not easy to take good quality photo in the cave :)
Greetings,
Radomir

Ahmet nice composition and good shot. The color and lights are good. TFS Ganesh

An incredibly detailed shot of this bat, although it doesn't look too happy with your flash.
It looks incredibly small.
Well spotted and thanks for sharing.

Hi ahmet.we dont see a lot of bats on TN. cute little face he has. great shot. very goodcolour and detail. TFs well done.
Nick..

I thought there was rousetta only in Oceania. I was surprised to see some are so close to Europe. Learning everyday on TN.
The pose and the look are brilliant.
(A beter flash with an appropriate diffusor could have enhanced the light).
Is it a young one or do grown-up look like this?

Hello Ahmet,
What a great capture of this cute looking bat! I never thought that I will say someday that a bat is cute but this one is!!! Details are amazing and so is clarity and exposure. I love this characteristic pose that you captured and this great eye contact. This is an excellent post, congratulations!
