yesterday i looked through this challenge with my grand nieces who are 9 years old ..
we were totally blown away by this image .
and actually came back to look at it at least two or three times .
you have a couple more fans in australia now ..

many congratulations on the ribbon .. incredible shot .
oh .. btw . they were saying .. OMG OMG . how can someone get a photo like that .. they were almost mesmerized ..
i told them it would take a crazy amount of talent .. incredible patience .. and being in the right place at the right time ..
i also told them that it would be stacks more difficult that shooting insects .. lol .. ;)

Fully awesome image, with great drama, clarity and colors. The clipped wings forces us to confront the content rather than grace and splendor. They both seem to be under a microscope, both given primacy, yet one lives and one dies. Their eyes are the same, as are their vibrant presences. And yet, from our safe and soft perspective, we can recognize the overall pattern woven by nature, the scintillation of life and death, all in their turn. Actually, it's thrust upon us to look or look away.
Wonderful. Personal favorite of the challenge.
