Excellent close-up picture of the syrphid of a yellow flower, Marie.
The colours of the two go very well with each other.
The eyes of the fly are captured beautifully in this shot.

Hello Marie!
Very small but kept with good DOF and sharpness. I like also that the name of species is given (I really like to known what I am looking at :>).

Hi Marie, these dandelion flowers are very popular with the insects.
It looks so big on that flower, but it must be really small. Well done on your capture - it looks really great.

hello Marie Christine,
Nowadays, I couldnt much visit TN and yours. Syrphids are very beautiful hovering flies. This species also with large and colored eyes. Your macro-shot very nice with sharp details, especially on eyes. Yellow flower very nice for composition and it nicely contastring with fly's dark reddish colors. POV and lighting also very nice. Thanks for sharing, have a nice weekend
