Hi Marie. Very good macro shot of the Fly. you have captured fine detail with your sharp focusing. Rich but still natural looking colours. Good use of the light which has given a shine to the wings, well done TFs.

Hello Marie,
your contribution further enlarges the TN fly collection.
The colour and structure details, in particular of the head, are amazing.
You focused precisely. Considering the exposure parameters, a greater depth of field would have been possible. Or was the insect very busy requiring 1/500 sec?
Best wishes, Peter
