Hi Joe,

Very interesting looking insect. Combination with a blue flower is very nice. Great sharpness of details, very good DOF and nice natural colours with good lighting. Very good work!

Merhaba Joe,
The insect seems very determined as it is approaching the delicate blue flower...
A well balanced composition, fine natural colours and the macro job is well done!

Hello Joe,
Once gain, a better macro image. I was even a bit surprised about the fill in flash skills 'cause the natural light experience is still there.
Secondly your depth of field and thus sharpness is quite amazing taking into account this is actually a macro image.
Well done!

One of the better uses of these two true colours I have seen in a while..The golden is almost as real as in the bottom of my gold pan! the Grape Hyacinth is true to colour and very prevalent here,. One of our favorites...

Hi Joe

Stunning macro - the grape hyacinth alone is outstanding, the fly is excellent, weird and something I was not aware of.

Impresionante toma de Bombilius Joe !!!
Aparte de la buena y efectiva técnica empleada, destacaría el artístico conjunto creado, a valorar en muchas de las fotografías macros ya que valoras el entorno y la belleza y no solo la caza de la especie. Buena luz y unos colores y formas "desbordantes".
Enhorabuena:
