There are two small that’s huddled together in this leaf under the rain forest canopy. Each bat is about the size of a golf ball. ### What technical feedback would you like if any? ### What artistic feedback would you like if any? ### Pertinent technical details or techniques: (If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn) Iso-500, 105 mm macro at F8, 1000th, handheld, 60% of full frame, D 500 ![B1a-copy](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/2X/1/1b30c5db89cc465c514acbcc4c2af40b35b4603c.jpeg) ###### If you would like your image to be eligible for a feature on the NPN Instagram (@NaturePhotoNet), add the tag ‘ig’ and leave your Instagram username below. ##### **_You may only download this image to demonstrate post-processing techniques._** ---
