Hello Gaetan!
Nice to see you again! :> The portrait of the fly is very good, I like eye-contact and very nice sharpness.
TFS and all the best!

PS. By the way, would you be so kind and send me via email your home address? I would like to send you a copy of journal in which is my paper about insect predatory behavior - if you remember one of your pictures (larva of Syrphodae fly) was published there :)

Hello Gaetan,

Merci et félicitations.
Amicalement

Hi Gaetan,

How did you get so close and he didn't fly away?
A wonderful view of the face and those magnificent eyes. Nice natural colors and good details. I love the pose on the leaf.

Hi Gaetan.
Crisp sharp head portrait of the fly. I also like natural lighting and vivid colours of the shot. However, I use more extreme aperture value to increase the DOF. But it is matter of taste. Well done and TFS.
Alexei.
P.S. I understand you have used tripod against the camera shake. However, what have you done to freeze the fly? :)

Bonjour Gaetan !
Joli face à face avec une mouche aux gros yeux rouges - le résultat est impressionnant. On dirait qu'elle nous regarde dans les yeux. J'aime bien la composition, le POV, les couleurs vives de cette image. Exellents détails sur le visage de l'insecte. Félicitations !
Valérie.
