Great one Vic.

It seems the water droplet gave the beetle a real hard time to get out :)
Love the colors, composition and clarity very much.

Best regards, Harry

Vic. Parsons. Thank you Harry, yep, the little fella was having a tough time of it and could well have ended up drowning in a raindrop......so after i took this shot i gave him a helping finger (he's only 5mm long) and got him dried off and on his way :-)

Harry Eggens You're great guy Vic by saving this wonderful beetle from drowning :)
He finally gave you the change to make this wonderful shot of his wire act which almost cost him it's live :-)

Cheers, Harry
