Hi Irishues.
This is really perfect close-up shot. Its composition and pictures are great. POV, details and fly, its pose are fantastic as well as the nice green ocean as BG. Bravo and best regards.

Hi Irishues, while I'm not a fan of the housefly, you have found a way to make one look good. The composition in this shot is very good with excellent depth of field. The colour of the leaves makes a good backdrop, the detail on the fly itself is very good.

Thanks, John

Hello Irishues,
These House Flies are such a problem in Australia, so annoying, especially in Summer. However, they are an important insect in the food chain so I will forgive them, maybe. Your image of this one is great. Its big eyes and hairy legs can be seen so clearly. Nice surroundings too, not even on food.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Irishues,
This is a beautiful pov to see a house fly. The picture is well composed. Colors are vivid and well saturated. Bright light also under good control.

Lovely light and color tones in this very nice macro image Irishues.
Excellent use of depth of field with focus just on the fly.
Perfect sharpness and clarity.
One doen't always have to follow the rule of thirds to get the best out of the composition, but in this case it would have been better imho following that rule.
In other words an 1 1/2 inch crop of top does bring the fly 1/3 from the right hand side and 1/3 of top and does make the composition much stronger imho because the large empty space on top of the image does not really add to the entire scene.
Best regards, Harry

Hi Iris,
As you said not the most pleasant of our insects but you have managed to display it beautifully here.The surrounding colours are so bright and vibrant.I also seem to get a sense of movement as if it has bent down on the verge of take-off.Nice to see you and take care.
Regards, David

I bet this is not from your video camera, Iris :-)!
Ah, I remeber your short-lived tryst with your uncle's SLR now! Well, it shows; doesn't it?
This is a very well composed shot. The subject may be an humble House Fly but seen by a creative eye, it can turn into a thing of beauty.
You have done that here. Congratulations!
TFS.

Hi Iris,

this is a very interesting and comendable composition, for what is a very common insect.
The background colours look lush.
Good job.

Hi Iris,

You show this house fly as such a pretty little insect - pest though it may be. The colors and details are excellent and I love the fuzziness on the legs. Shows up well on the pretty green leaves.

Hello Iris,
this is an excellent shot of the common housefly one insect that is fine where it lives but not in one's home.Houseflies though not popular do serve a purpose and that is carrion eaters or rather their larvae do.The colour is very good and focus and point of view as well. Tfs. Bob
