Hi Hari,

That is a rare behaviour photograph.I liked the light and the composition. The details are sharp. I would suggest that instead of using intermediate ISO like 125,135, it is advisable to use full ISO like 100,200,300,400.

Try for an off the centre composition, that enhances the image further.

Hari,
Most of the times we run after the big mammals and forget to photograph the insect world. They are colourful and one can get some nice images.

In this image you have clicked them parallel to the camera or image plane. So the details have come out well. I would have composed this scene keeping those two slightly more towards the right. That would also have meant that more of green in the background.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Such a nice colorful shot and playing of sun light. Any closer shot?

Extra Innings:
Last Sunday I got chance to see such behavior with common house flies at Mumbai University. The mating of both lasted amazingly for 1.5 hours.
Anyways this was about fun and extra innings
