Hallo Javier
This might be a common fly, but a very good looking one. The detail as well as the focus is really clear. The texture on the body is very sharp and obvious. The yellow of the flower is such a warm and sunny colour. I like the fine pollen on the fly as well as on the flower. Very good presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Javier, wonderful macro, great composition with splendid colors, good details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Javier,
pleasant atmosphere in this very close distance macro photography that is looking naturally well lighted in spite of flash, and is also showing well focussed details and a pleasant softness around - in spite of the very small aperture used. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter
