Hallo Gert, the flies are present in spite of the 'cold' weather also on rainy days. Neverhtheless, it is not easy to come very close to them. So, I admire your presentation of these two very differently sized flies in excellent sharpness.

Hi Gert,
Wow, I've never seen one of these small flies this close before, I never thought that they would look like this. Well presented shot, a great comparision having both flies in the shot. Excellent colours and detail, nicely framed/composed. Great work as always!
Best regards,
Adrian

Hello Gert,
This is a great shot and a very yellow shot too! ;-)
The details are great, even the little fly is very sharp. I think you has luck the little one was there because I think it very important element of that shot and it makes the bigger fly look huge.
I like it a lot!
VERY WELL DONE!

What a great shot Gret.
Two for the price of one and what a lovely background for these two flies.
It is a great macro and a superb composition, great framing and details.

I have to tell you my friend that in just these short six months that I have been a member of TN and just by looking at your pictures and reading your notes learned so much about techniques not only shooting the pictures but also making them look beautiful.

You have taught me more during this shot time that all the reading that I have done in the internet about photography. This picture is no exception but a great example of mastery. THANK YOU MY FRIEND.

Regards
JC

Bonjour Gert,
J'aime beaucoup cette Macro pour les détails de la mouche adulte et pour les contrastes des deux mouches sur la fleur.
Un peu plus et on pouvait admirer, pas autant bien entendu, les cellules de l'oeil de la mouche, comme les cellules des yeux de la demoiselle (dragonfly) de la photo #300, photo extraordinaire que j'ai ajoutée dans mes favorites.
J'ai visité une bonne partie de vos pages et c'est une véritable encyclopédie. Merci Gert de publier de telles photos.

Hi Gert,
Beautiful saturated yellow color in this shot. Great frame filling composition. A nice bonus to get the little black fly in there.
Very sharp detail! Looks great!

But where are butterflies my friend :-) ? Very nice 'family portrait', great yellow colours and sharp details. Funny picture showing us differences in size of common flies. Good work!
