Bonjour Gaetan, ce profil de mouche est bien reussi et la bête est parfaitement en valeur sur la feuille. Les teintes sont harmonieuses et douces. Mes félicitations, Didier.

Hello Gaetan,
I see you are a fan of track and field. I should show you my track photos some time. I love to attend college track meets in my area.

The thing I like most about this photo is the beautiful composition. I like the angle of the leaf in the frame, but it would be more dramatic if we could see just a little space below the tip. I also like the pose of the insect just coming out of the starting blocks. It is excellent POV.

The details are outstanding in this macro. I can see the tiny hairs well and the amount of sharpness is perfect.

The DOF is excellent and that is a very pleasant background.

Exposure is very good. The light has a nice soft effect.

Best Regards,
Ken

Bonjour Gaetan, je vois que vous êtes un ventilateur de voie et champ. Je devrais vous montrer mes photos de voie une certaine heure. J'aime assister à des rassemblements de voie d'université dans mon secteur. La chose que j'aime les la plupart au sujet de cette photo est la belle composition. J'aime l'angle de la feuille dans l'armature, mais elle serait plus dramatique si nous pourrions voir juste un peu d'espace au-dessous du bout. J'aime également la pose de l'insecte juste sortant des blocs commençants. C'est excellente POV. Les détails sont exceptionnels dans ce macro. Je peux voir que les poils minuscules bien et la quantité d'acuité est parfait. Le DOF est excellent et c'est un fond très plaisant. L'exposition est très bonne. La lumière a un effet doux gentil. Les Meilleurs souvenirs, Ken

PS: I think your insect is a type of Robber Fly.

Magnifique macro aeavecvc beaucoup de détails.
Bravo
Marie

Bonjour Gaetan,
Fine macro of a Dungfly, Scatophaga stercoraria, on his starting blocks to fly to the next cow dropping as fast as possible!
Fine sharpness where desired and good focusing in an excellent composition with fine lighting and pleasing BG.
Merci et a bientot,
Ivan

Dear Gaetan,
I this that this is a member of genus Scatophaga (stercoraria?) (Scatophagidae)., rather rarely presented group of flies here on TN so thanks for showing something unique :)
Greetings and all the best!
