Summer is the time for insects - especially flower loving ones like this Syrphus Syrphini hover fly (thanks PDP for identification).

Taken with +4 close-up lens
Cropped, Levels, sharpened
Was nt sure if to leave the left most flower but decided it adds to the picture

very nice shot Shir,
the composition is good, but personal I think with some cropping it could be done better. The pov is fantastic even as the dof, the colours are strong, very good job,

Good shot Shir, the hoverfly looks so nice and sharp. Look at the pollen he's covered in. Well captured, good job!

Hello Shir, nice shot. It's a hoverfly of the tribe Syrphini, it's hard to get an exact ID from this angle but it is probably a Syrphus sp.. The composition is very good and the colours are great. Very nice wotk.
