Kurt: I really like the pose of the bat as it laps nectar. Also the detail rendered in the bat (especially the wing veinage) is exceptional. Well done. Richard

I think I like the shapes in this one better than the first one you posted. I do feel like the face of the bat is almost too dark, given the other brighter tones in the wing and the plant, but the bright reddish tongue sort of "saves" it from being lost in shadow. Very cool moment!

So good. I love the composition, detail and pose. Was this captured at Bill's Pond?

Hey Kurt,
Pretty hard to find much to criticize or nit-pick on this one...just a super solid shot. While set-ups like this aren't really my thing, I totally appreciate the thought and effort (and technology) that went into capturing this compelling shot. Nicely done.
Cheers...
Brad
