Excellent close up of this bright green fly and great entry for the contest. I like all the patterns shown in the leaf markings. Very good lighting and focus showing great clarity. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Good detail in this,only wish the fly was a tad bigger as it would make for a much stronger image,still it makes for a good entry for the contest..Brian

    Thank you very much for your kind review.
    I guess you mean you want a macro bigger than 1/1 ratio. The fly is only about 10 mm long.

Comment from Sange


My Review is based on the view of this shot the correct way by clicking on it to see the true clarity. So many here do not understand the proper way of viewing the work on Far.
Your focus is sharp, exposure/white balance controlled showing true and Natural colors with Crisp details on both the Fly and the leaf.
Fine entry and great work behind your lens.

I cannot possibly comment on the identification of this insect, but I can say that it is in a good photo! It is in a good shot which is well composed, sharp and well exposed. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Browncat


Overall good composition and the metallic portion of the fly is well done. Showing so much of the leaf gives the viewer good scale of the fly. However, I think you had lighting challenges because the exposure seems "off." Don't know exactly how it happened---maybe just slightly darkening the entire image with your software would add some punch and definition.

    Thank you much for your kind and critical review. I do not understand why you think that the exposure is "off". Please clarify.
reply by Browncat on 26-Oct-2018
    The leaf looks washed out to me. If no one else has mentioned exposure, pls disregard. I don't always agree with reviewer comments on my work!

    Thank you for your clarification. I have looked at the leave, but it has the natural color. It has some discolorations especial near the center caused by some plant-pest.
Comment from avmurray


This photo is for certain green enough for this contest with a green fly on a green leaf. I especially like how well you have brought out the fine textures in the leaf, and how well the insect is standing out from it.

Your focus on the insect is spot on and sharp showing really clear and well defined details both in the wings and body. It is nothing wrong with the exposure either.

The photo is nicely cropped and the insect has got a very good placement at the bottom right. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.
