He's not cuddly in any sense of the word is he. Fine macro shot, pin sharp and a good depth of field. Nicely lit too, did you use a video lamp or something here. Great shot.

Not cuddly for sure:)) I took this one in direct morning sun, that probably added to clarity. Thank you so much for your review!
Comment from Montana Shooter
Wow! You really zoned, zoomed in on this robber fly and caught such great detail! I love the crispness of the image from the thorns to the hairs on its tail, and the compound eye. The blurred background is perfect. Good luck in the contest.

I like the title and the prominent details of the legs and the eye. Great angle, focus, and exposure setting. The green background makes the details clearer, too. A great entry.

This is a great macro shot of the robber fly. Unbelievable detail that you have captured here. The green muted background shows your photograph to its best.

Quite a good looking nature image posted here into the competition! Your fine and full composition gives us a good look at that insect and its location. Like it's legs. Well done and good luck!

An impressive photograph of the tiny fly! The framing is thoughtfully executed, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours enhances the overall composition. Good luck!

Thank you, Seshadri! This guy is actually pretty big, like a medium size dragonfly.
