Hi Sigi,

Well captured. The detail on the subject is well handled with good DOF and your exposure choice was just right here. The flowers make a nice background for the subject to stand out on but might be a bit light at the bottom of the frame.

Bonitos colores e interesante control de la luz. El encuadre no es el más apropiado a mi gusto.

Hi Siggi,

I never realized there were so many varieties of hoverflies! An amazing macro of this one with excellent details of the entire insect. The transparent wings are wonderful - I love seeing the violet flowers through them. Beautiful colors add to this superb shot.

Hello Siggi,

What superb textural details you have captured here. The eyes look like silk and the body resembles fine, silky fur, whilst the wings resemble cellophane.
Nice dof with the blurred flowers making a colourful b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Believe me or not but not so long ago I saw this species for the first time in Greece! In Poland it is rather rare. I also tried to take a picture of this fly but without any results :(
I like your note too, especially English name of the species - Hornet Mimic Hoverfly is really great for this one :)
TFS and all the best Siegfried!

ps. Your Polish is excellent, but where did you learn this language? :>

Hi Siegfried,
a very pretty fly on a very pretty flower.
Excellent composition and superbs colour rendition.
Very sharp indeed, the eys and the stripes are excellent.

Foozi
