Sibling Rivalry

Sparring Green Lynx Spiderlings.

I shot this awhile back and never posted it anywhere. I have revisited and think it may be worthy of a look?

1D M3, Sigma 150mm + Kenko 2x and fill. Don't have the shooting data from the original handy, it's on my storage drive..Sorry for that.

I really like the action that you have managed to capture here. I think I'm being overly critical as it's a great shot, but I think I'd prefer the capture angle from a slightly lower viewpoint so that the spiders are almost on a level with the viewer's eye (here the spider are ever so slightly lower). The background being quite light also draws my eye away from the fight.

Howard: Great eye and a fine capture of the action. Did the victor eat the vanquished?

This shot has incredible impact - the action is intense. Well done! The background is a bit of a dull color, but I like it's simplicity.
