nice capture, but the image looks very flat to me. perhaps try adjusting the curves.

great stopped motion id like a different angle better where i could see both of them more clearly. and i think this would benefit from a small black border. just my opinion.

An interesting image that could have been substantially brightened using layers and masks. I think it would have made it pop some more. You probably would have seen a 0.5 increase in your overall average score for this image. Great catch, for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I would try a tighter crop, so we can get lost in the wild careening forms.

Excellent timing on this shot!
Certainly one to cherish, as these moments don't happen often enough for us to see in the wild.
