Hi Hilary. This is a very sharp well detail close up of the Hoverfly. Your use of the light has given fine detail and rich colours. a nice POV/DOF. The insect stands out so well on the flower. well done TFS.

Excellent work Hil - there certainly are plenty of these beautiful insects around at present. Perfect DOF, focus and exposure. It's on some variety of Hebe by the look of it - they are a popular garden shrub related to Foxgloves.
Kind Regards
Vinny

You can put that camera to bed in the master bedroom tonight Hil...Wow...Where did you get that nice technique? Now you're more into the teach mode for me...this is a tough shot...simply superior! One of the best you have posted in a while. Not to denigrate any others but this one is just super.

I hardly call this an attempt Hilary. It looks like you've been doing these for years. Incredible focus.An exceptional composition around the hover fly too. It even looks good in your framing.
Enjoy your week.

Hallo Hil
This is such a lovely sight. A beautiful display of colour and detail on one image. There are a lot of details on this beautiful Hoverfly to observe and appreciate. One of it being the fine body hairs so beautifully displayed. The patterns and markings on this insect’s body are so vivid and the clarity captured is excellent. I like the gold colour of the upper part of the body. Composition, focus and sharpness are great and very pleasing to the eye. The lavender coloured flower on which the fly is resting on, highlights the detail and colour of the insect to a great extent. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.

Merhaba Hil,
Bu ne kadar keskin ve tertemiz bir imaj! Çiçeğin renkleriyle arının sarı siyah desenleri muhteşem bir kontrast oluşturmuş. Kompozisyon ve çerçeve de çok gözalıcı duruyor. Enfes bir makro olmuş. Eline sağlık. Hüseyin

Hi Hil,

The colors in this shot are amazing. So deep and vivid - I love the yellow, black and violet. Fantastic details of the insect - with my lack of knowledge of insects I would have thought it was a bee. The transparent wings are marvelous. Great shot!
