G'day *ROBERT*!

I clapped eyes on this very fine photograph in the WEYG Club.
What a cracker of a close-up and sooooo sharp!
I really like your idea of a really tight shot using the sting as the subject.
Powerful, extremely interesting and expertly made imagery.

They're almost cute when their babies.
The detail in this photo is great and since it doesn't show the entirety of the mothers' body, it leaves room to wonder what's outside of the photo. #8706705
