Wingnut, my 11 year old grandson, took this photo of two Japanese beetles "battling over food." He captured amazing details and color (please click on the photo to see it full size in a new window.) PhotoHunt
I did click to see the full size and wow, tell your grandson he is a great photographer and should keep at it! Amazing shot and that's what photography is all about.
Your grandson is a great photographer in the making. I am also not so sure they are battling over food... they are really going for a fun piggyback ride. Right?
Cool photo! Excellent detail. Tell your grandson that he is off to great start! Thanks for commenting on your recent visit to Pollywog Creek and have a great weekend.
I think I agree with gattina! Look at their little striped bellies. Who would have thought they were so colorful. He is doing a great job with the camera. I love nature shots! Mama Bear
What a great photo! Hard to imagine an 11 y-o doing such a terrific job, but it looks like he has a good eye and steady hand! Kudos, and what a great tiny entry!
Nice save,... "battling over food",..... lol. The picture is amazing and your grandson did a mighty fine job with the camera. Great photo, thats for sure. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week.
