[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For the humorous category this, one of the most horrible macros I have ever made.

I think the scene is decadent: the fly is horrible with this pose with the open mouth, the plant is dirty from bird depositions and is rotten and damaged. But this also nature.

When I saw it in the screen I was having a sandwich and had to stop. I did not like this flies very much, now I hate them.

Don´t it looks somehow like Dart Vader?

Well, in this one is difficult to finish with "Hope you like".

PP Neat Image, clean and sharp.

Buen provecho... aquí es casi la hora del almuerzo.... me quieres cortar el apetito a mi tambien.
Como has dicho en tus notas, horrible escena, excelente nitidez sobre todo en los ojos de la mosca (pese al F8, se pierde algo el foco hacia atras).
mi voto positivo, por la eleccion de la categoria pues.

Ha ha, I like the title, what makes me laugh most is the thought of you putting down your sandwich in disgust! Good work Felipe!

Felipe, You have good detail on your fly. The underside is a bit dark. You might have used fill flash or used a slightly lower F-stop to bring it up? Also, your camera automatically sets your exposure value & when you have a large area of light color with a dark subject this can be the result..Oh, isn't it "Darth Vader"? ;-)

Really a great one Dart vader,
very good photo, I like the way you took this. Really nice composition, good colours and an exelent dof, very good job Felipe

I like this macro Felipe the rotten damaged leave is interesting in itself.

Well, because it is different we like it. The leaf really looks incredibly disgusting - in fact there is an end-of-the-world science-fiction atmosphere to this shot. Good.
