Hi Felipe,

Hello,
This is a fine macro of a dung fly with good blurred BG. I cannot guess what it is standing on, which is beautifully coloured. It looks too synthetic to be a fungus!
Interesting!
Thank you both, regards, Ivan

Hello FeCr!

Another extramundi shot from your team :-) Small alien walking on surface of purple planet :-) It remainds me illustration from Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Great macro work, superb details and first of all excellent and surprising POV and composition. I'm waiting for portrait of this mysterious fungus!

Una genialidad amigo mío... el impacto visual que genera esta imagen es maravilloso.
La aclaración en tus notas es mucho más que útil porque podrías pensarse que se trata de una superficie artificial y no un bello hongo... habrá que aguardar por su publicación completa pues.
Perfecta nitidez, perfecto desenfoque, perfecta iluminación... perfecta composición.
Con admiración... Ricardo

Hola Felipe y Cristina,
Bella montaña violeta que espero impaciente que desveleis. Precioso fondo y muy nítida mosca que tiene de bueno que se come otras. Espero que se aparee muchas veces y vaya a más.
Un saludo,

Hi Felipe!
What a wonderful subject! i'm talking about the mushroom for sure, though the fly is interesting too! Superb coloured cap i love that! i'm very curious about the id and wondering if it is edible if so i can eat it raw! Ok, i will wait for your post!

btw, are you sure with the fly, because i tought that i know this fungi lover fly too. Yes, it look alike a yellow dung fly also but some doubts with the abdomen and body.

Those nails at the end of the legs and whole body (which looks raw) remind me a my post which is very similar for the fungi love:-) and very similar leg's positions also. You can see my mad max below...

Cyberpunk, fungilover at the same time:-)

Another photo of the fly

Thank you and best regards,
Ersin

What a splendid composition, Filipe!!!
This is trule a magnificent photo!
The focus here is spectacular, as well as the DOF.
Perfect sharpness on the little fly! The big blue ball is also the most qierd and interesting at the same time thing that i saw used as a "sitting place" for such a shot :))
Very well done!
The colors are well saturated and the POV is excellent.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Felipe,
What a wonderfull photo. I love the contrast of the purple fungi and the OOF BG. It really makes the two seperate from each other. The fly is stunning as well, especially the hairs on the back. Great colors and clarity and excellent sharpness.
TFS,

Oh i see it now! haha, yeah this one is good. :) i like the fact that the purple thing/fungus? is so big as compared to the insect. Gives it some comparison platform!
Good one here with great sharpness. :)
