Macro of a fly26 total reviews
Comment from bpellephoto
Jodi, this is one of the five best macros shots I have seen. Your macro lens has a large sweet spot so every aspect of the insect is seen in true 1:1 ratio - Bravo.
The contrast is sharp and the focus has all the necessary parts in sharp focus. Linear edge sharpness is razor sharp.
I can see segments of the compound eye as well as the proboscis. Sensory hairs are well seen and clear.
I am in awe of this shot ... Bob

This is exceptional Jodi!
You took one of life's little pests and turned it into a beautiful work of art!
Love the crisp details and textures.
A nice idea that lends itself to a perfect black and white image!!

Magnificent! I really love the sharpness of this shot, and I'm particularly not a bug person, but this is excellent. Great detail, contrast and color.

Comment from Celyn1
This is an incredibly detailed close up of a fly. It almost looks like something you would find in a zoology textbook. The focus is good throughout and the lighting is excellent. I don't like it much as I am not keen on insects but it is a great photo.

Comment from FBI GUY
Incredible! I have never seen a macro shot is well defined.
The shadows, the clarity, definition and pure realism is amazing. You got this with a white background pops the details of the fly perfectly. Best of luck in the contest but I don't think it will be a problem. You have my vote.

Very cool micro capture. The angle of the shot of this fly is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Love how the shadow remains under the fly on the white background. Very detailed. Reminds me almost like a pencil drawing to some degree. Very well done.

Comment from Ray Gordon
Jodi this is an excellent black and white presentation of this fly. The features are clear and distinct and show the details of this fly, an unbelievable flying machine able to evade the quickest of swats. Your timing was impeccable, I just have one question how were you able to put down your glass of wine, grab you camera, put the lens on, focus it and pull off this fantastic shot and all on a white lid. Rhetorical question. With my luck the fly would wind up floating in my wine. Excellent capture and so worthy of praise. Ray

Thank you so much Ray. Truly appreciate your wonderful review.
Comment from Sange
Outstanding capture Jodi.
Black and white was a fine choice. Details are crisp and technically the only wish was for the wings to be just as sharp as the body. But White balance and sharp details on the head and eyes are superb.
