Mating Flies

I found this mating pair of flies in Lalbagh one fine overcast morning. Was not carrying my tripod and captured hand held. The light from the sun (behind the clouds) was falling from right side. The image is cropped for this presentation. You can see water drops on the grass blade from the rain the night before.

Hello Nagraj,
This is a very fine macro, especially as it was taken with the camera hand-held. These mating flesh Flies are taken from a great lateral POV against a superb contrasting neutral natural BG.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan
