Alan, An EXCELLENT profile macro of this Hoverflies head and thorax. Your POV shows in great detail the stucture of the flies face which I find very interesting.. I've never seen it this well..When you can see the nostrils on a hoverflies nose, you must be doin' something right ;-)

Hi Alan, what a lovely capture and a first attempt at macro, you must be pleased. Great perspective, good colour, detail and DoF, all set off nicely against the bright yellow flower. TFS

Superb macro, the angle is very unusual for that type of subject and the light and DOF are impeccable. However... it is a hover-fly all right but it does not even remotely look like Volucella bombylans. I think it is Syrphus ribesii.
Very good job (except for the ID ;°) )

Hi Alan, very nice work especially for a first time. Nice details in the right places and it's a pretty good composition. The ID is incorrect, this is definetly not V. bombylans, I will try and ID it later if I have time although that's tricky as the wings and abdomen cannot be seen.
