Wow Grace this is different from you but superb never the less!!
The detail on that fly even though it is small in the frame is superb and how those res eyes pop out its the first thing that you look at!
I like the blues surrounding it and indeed the reflections add the depth and added interest!

Thank you :) I have lots of bug in my portfolio, but I have been posting way more birds this year!

Comment from Charlie Newman
Not one of my favorite insects, but your photo captured the finite detail, colors and "attractiveness" of this horsefly. The focus is excellent showing very clear and well defined details.

Thank you! I don't like them much either but I couldn't resist the photo op :)

Comment from Danielle Andrukitis
Cool! I like this shot. The reflection catches the eye and makes the photograph more interesting. Nice job focusing in on the fly, also.

Interesting perspective taken here of this fly showing such a great reflection in the clear surface.
Its eyes are such a vivid orange as shown clearly in the light. Wonderful focus and clarity! This for sharing.

Grace this is an incredible reflection on this fly! It looks almost out of space! Although I'm not too fond of flies, I do love this fabulous capture! So well done!

Thank you! I am not very fond of flies either! They are pretty gross, lol :)

Comment from CicaniStar
Great shot of the pesky little guy! No background noise, just the fly and his reflection! The line in front of him separates colors very well and leads the eye to the subject well.
Great focus on him as well, can see so much detail on back, eyes and legs! Great job!

In a faint voice you hear " am I on time for dinner?"..lol..the clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this fly is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Grace,
A very beautiful picture of this loathsome House fly standing over it's perfect reflection on the shiny surface it's resting on it's red eyes watching you closely. Beautiful & interesting composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
