[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This blue green coloured fly was very colourful and made for a nice subject. It was sitting on the blade of wheat. I wish the eyes of this fly were more in focus but what I wanted was the colours to really show. Im unsure about the frame, maybe it is just the wrong colour.

Having fun with your new toys indeed. I think if you focused on the eyes or stop down even more (F22/F32) it would've made the fly more in focus.

Beautiful colours on this Greenbottle and very well captured.

Quote from Matt, "I got bugs, and bugs, and more bugs. Oh yeah, I even got some bugs."

Hello Matthew,
This is very close. Fly has great metallic colours and you've showed it well. I think the composition and POV are very good, great colours too. As for the frame, I think white or black ones are the most "safe", but it seems this one suits preety good here.
Overall, very good post.
WELL DONE!

Hello Matt, good shot. The composition is very strong. I would like the head to be a little more in focus - it's a nice shot - well done. I'm not very keen on coloured frames, I think this would be better with white or black.

Hi Matt,
Good detail, colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV. I'd use either a Black or White frame.

Thanks for posting, enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Matthew,
great shot, I do like the metalic colors and wonderful transparency of the wings. Excellent sharpness and great horizintal line. Wonderful composition.
TFS..Sky

As you said, a pity about a head a little soft. Colors and composition are fantastic. Contrast is good.
About the frame, maybe adding a very thin black line inside the frame you did.
A beautiful pic. TFS

Hi

Metalic((((: very intresting details with nice POV and DOF.
Matthw i Have one question; what is your idea about the lens you have and 180mm sigma?
