Hello Marie, wonderful shot in all aspects. TFS. Regards,

I saw this fly in our garden the other day, but it was in a hurry and did not allow me to take its pictures, Marie.
In fact, your very brilliant image of it reminded me of what I had actually seen without knowing what it was. That way, you have supplied the ID for my non-existing image :-).
Very crisp and colourful capture. The transparent wings look great in the sunshine.
TFS and regards.

Hola Marie
Esta fotografía me gusta mucho mas que la de los patos. Es evidente que los insectos es lo que más dominas. La documentación de la nota es excelente como siempre.
Saludos.

Hi again Marie, lovely cranefly with fantastic colors, fine details and splendid sharpness, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Hello Marie,
Picture is not very sharp but - and bravo for this!!! - presents a very interesting fly species! I have to say that I saw it in the wild only 2 times (both last week!) but it is not easy to find it in nature (at least for me :>). Original picture with colourful insect :)
TFS and best greetings!

Hi Marie,
Wonderful shot of this Cranefly with such lovely colours and sharp details. The abdomen looks very interesting. I like your top POV to portray it and the natural setting. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
