Bonjour Marie-Christine,
Une excellente image de cette mouche Asilidae que tu présentes avec une grande netteté et dans une belle lumière. Elles ont très impressionnantes et très féroces quand on les voit à l'oeuvre.
Un grand merci
Anne

Bonjour Marie-Christine
Quelle belle macro.Bon PDV et image bien en focus.Le détail et les couleurs sont superbe.
Merci Michel

Hello Marie,

What excellent details showing us so much of the mechanism and the features of this fly. The thorax really has the appearance of a robotic creature.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Marie,
excellent pose of insect, great details, nice light and colours.
cheers
Adrian

Hello Marie!
Very nice - and not known for me - species of Asilidae. For the first view it looks like one of 3 species of Machimus.
If you agree I would like to add your picture to the theme "Asilidae of Europe" :)
Best regards,
Radomir

Hi Marie,

Perfectly focused and detailed macro capture of an Robber Fly with ecxellent clarity, POV and DOF.
Many thanks for sharing this.

Hallo Marie,

Erg goede en super scherpe macro.
Misschien had ik de uitsnede iets anders gemaakt, je hebt links onder nu zo'n storende vlek zitten.
Verbaas me elke keer weer over je soorten rijkdom en kennis.

Gert

Straordinaria definizione dei dettagli di questo insetto, che a prima vista e con l'occhio umano sembra uguale ad altri, ma poi si notano tanti particolari e nonostante ciò rimangono i dubbi .... misteri della natura sulla biodiversità. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Te echaré de menos estas semanas que no entres por aquí.
Has conseguido una gran profundidad de campo. Supongo euq eso tiene algo que ver con el tamaño del sensor de tu cámara.
Buen detalle
Muchos saludos

Hello Mariki, perfect close-up capture of this interesting fly species. TFS.

Hello Marie Christine

Just marking the post for now

Rob

A stunningly impressive capture of this Robberfly, Marie.
It is a huge and faultless macro with perfect details and colours.
The long wide leaf makes a perfect BG for this technically outstanding capture

Hi Marie,
Very nice macro shot. Good focus,sharpness, POV, and composition.

Bonjour Marie Christine !
je suis persuadée que les mouches font partie des insectes les plus laids, quand on les regard de si près - mais la photo, bien entendu, est très intéressante. Ls détails sont magnifiques, on voit le moindre petit poil. Les couleurs, la composition, le POV et la pose de l'animal sont superbes également. Félicitations !
Valérie.

Hi Marie,
Excellent macro with superb sharpness.
I love the focus and clarity you have managed.
Even though the sunlight was strong you manged the exposure quite fine.
The lighting looks just perfect and the contrast very fine.
The sharp focus has brought in excellent details of the fly.One can see the fine hairs and the each part of the the subject in a very clear manner.
Very well captured.
TFS & Cheers



Cheers
