[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bombylius parece un abejorro pero si nos fijamos tiene las patas delgadas y sin pelo con solo un par de alas. Se agarra a la flor con un par de patas. Las larvas parasitan las larvas de las abejas tipo "adrena". Familia: Bombyliidae Subfamulia: Bombyliinae
La foto esta tomada con fuerte sol a última hora de la tarde. Como todas mis fotografías hasta el momento, no ha pasado por photoshop; solamente toco en algunas algo el balance: brillo, contraste o gama.
Sin trípode. Sin flash.

Ignasi, The shot is nice but would have been class if the POV is changed into other direction. I like the blur in the wings becuase of movement. Ganesh

Hello ignasi !
This is a reat in-flight picture ! You have frozen this interesting insect very nicely, with excellent details and focus. I also like the POV, the blurred BG and the soft colors of this picture. maybe I would have cropped the blurred leaf, at the left of the picture, but it's just my opinion, it's a great picture just as it is now. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hola Ignasi,
Fine capture of the Bee fly caught at a good moment in natural light: sharp and with good neutral BG and set in a fine composition.
TFS,
Saludos,

Hola Ignasi,
Agarraste al insecto en el momento justo!
Muy buena la escena, donde podemos apreciar claramente cual es la pose y la acción del insecto al momento de alimentarse.
Me gusta mucho la profundidad de campo y el agradable fondo difuminado.
Enhorabuena y gracias por compartir la foto.
Un gran saludo,
JM
