Ha! You know...there are times when I will take orange Marmalade and put it on a fresh and hot bun for breakfast. It is more of a winter thing...but I can see a particular similarity ion colours. Nicely done on the perch as well and well noted..Hope all is well with you and yours Ram. Have a good Sunday...

Superb macro of Syrphus balteatus, one of the most widely distributed species of hoverfly in the world. It has settled on what looks like a Blue Jasmine flower, but I stand to be corrected.
The technical quality of this macro is great and the lighting and BG excellent in presenting both the flower and hoverfly ina a marvellous way.
A great posting, Ram, and thanks for sharing it!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hi Ram,
Your expertise in close up photography is quite visible in this fine capture, the vertical POV demonstrates the hoverfly faultlessly while the perspective provided from the same vantage point produces a perfect 3-D effect with the equally sharply focused flower, all perfectly standing out against the contrasty, OOF BG. Thank you indeed for sharing this scene my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Ram.
What a pleasant colour palette of your tender shot. I like pictured scene a lot. You managed to shot all beauties of the charming flower, fine hoverfly and impressive by colouration and blurriness BG. Diagonal composition of the image is wonderful too. Well done and kind regards.

Hello Sir,
How come you get a lot of hover flies in your garden when I can't find even a single one at my place? Must be because they are sure of a chance to pose for a photo.:)
Excellent capture of the Hoverfly on the pale blue flower.Very good POV and DOF. Good colours and contrasts. Lovely composition.
Thanks for the share,
Smitha.

Hello Ram,
A pretty little Marmalade Hoverfly again -I can't get over the lovely name - but the colour is certainly that of a good marmalade! :-) Anyway, this is a very fine capture of this one on the pretty blue flower where it stands out nicely. Great focus and very sharp details. A lovely composition too.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla
