[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Well, this is a fly! Actually I don't know much about these kind of flies so I won't try to tell anything about them in order not to mis-inform you.

Luckily I can tell something about the setup I've used for this photo.
I was taken with my new FA* 200mm macro lens and a AF400T flash mounted to the side. Aperture priority and F22 to get the depth of field needed for this photo. It was taken early in morning to get some of the lingering water on the leaves and branches in the series I shot that morning. Did some dust speck removal in Photoshop and sharpened for the web.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike.
It has been very nice to discover your gallery, I had a great time rushing over the wonderful job posted, very elegant, each one of them. Congratulations.
I chose this one because I like it very much, fantastic to get this two into DOF, and gives a very pleasant perspective and size comparison. Great details too. Thanks.
