On the photo Syrphidae sp.

I was very lucky to have several large fruit trees blooming in my garden, they atracted all kind of insects and allowed me to make great photos, but only for a short time.
Last year I acidentaly planted small cabbage and cabbage white catterpillars came, so now I starded planting plants that will atract many different insects and make my small garden a little odouros heaven.Today I saw several interesting jumping spiders that were hunting down very small ants, I saw a lot of different hoverflies and lady bugs...And my favorite Xylocopa violacea came to visit my balcony flowers.

Hi Tanja,
So your tactics give good results!
Excellent capture of this insect, it seems its almost floating over the white flower.
A great macro very artistic also.
I like a lot the good light catched.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Tanja,
Nice to see another shot from you.
You managed to get very nice focus, DOF and details on this picture. I would just lighten it a bit (levels) and tried how it looks without the sky visible (tighter frame).
Best greetings and TFS!
Michal

Hi Tanja.
You have shared a really amazing picture. Its subject is simply perfect as well as the sharpness and details of the hoverfly and flower. I also like wonderful colourful BG, exact cropping and nice note. My greetings and TFS.
Alexei.
