Actually Lesser Short-faced Fruit Bats. We found these fruit bats roosting under a banana leaf at Krung Ching, Thailand. A mother with it's youngster.

Those eyes are very engaging, Nate. I may crop a little closer to the bats especially from the bottom.

Cheers,

Hisham.

Great detail .excellent use of flash, pity about the wing obscuring the eye, but what can you do. devil

Great eyes in bats most of us are unlikely to see. I agree a bit more off the bottom would be good, but that would alter your chosen ratio.

I like the areas of different yellow and green, with diagonals emphasizing the composition. Neat capture.
