Hey flys desrve a little respect, too! Great focus, the wings and eyes look metalic. Like the black background. Well done.

You definitely did a lot better than I would have. I like that the background is pitch black, and think the leaf helps a lot wit the quality. Great contrast, color, angle, macro and storyline.

Your time and patience in taking this shot is a credit to your passion for photography the clarity is good and ranks with some of the best insect pics on this site

I like your fly! And her little shoes too! Nice macro. Great detail in the wings. When they say patience is a virtue, do you think that it applies to insect stalking?...Coffee

    I am not sure. Who ever said that probably did not think about crazy photographers hunting flies. Thank you very much for the review.

Sounds like a fun time trying to get this shot which is nicely detailed and focused on this fly. Good colours in him and the leaf and great background.

Thanks for sharing

I know just how you feel about posting insects on here! Good strong composition, the diagonal is interesting and pulls the eye. Good colors. Focus is sharp and clear. Light is a little strong on his back.

This is a good hot annie .. you just weren't lucky enough to get a better one ./. i have to admit that some of the "bug shots" on here have been really super .. i think if this little guy had been facing you you might have been more satisfied with your shot .. can you rotate it:-) good job anyhow .. jill
