Tight Focus or Dof on the left and right or post pro. Not sure though of which.

A very good effort on this capture and composition.

Hello!
SUUUUUUPERB SHOT!
Great "glasses" :-) and wonderful BG!

Very good macro, Nitzan.
I like the low angel for this one, very good POV.
Maybe little shallow DOF, but it woska well here.
Well composed and nice colours.
Very good work.

Excellent macro. I like colors and detail. Looks a lot like a dragon, lucky they remain small.

I tell you ... the macro shots on TN are getting better and better all the time and this is just great! The details on this fly are excellent and especially the focus on the eye is marvlous. Colors are fantastic and the blurred BG is amazing! Well done on the composition aswell. Bravo Nitzan! Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hello Nitzan!
Wonderful hoverly close up.Lighting,colors,details and composition are wonderful.Thanks for sharing.

Great work Nitzan, I like your POV most here..Well composed with good details and colors. Well done!

This is a great POV for a hoverfly shot Nitzan, unusual and it works beautifully. You have great light too, it makes the hoverfly stand out from the BG very well. I agree with ellis49 about the shallow DOF and the fact that it seems to work well for this image. Your blurred BG is lovely and you have great detail and sharpness where it counts most - the eyes. Fantastic shot, TFS :)

Hi Nitzan, this hoverfly is Episyrphus balteatus. The low angle makes a nice POV, perhaps a little more DOF would be good. The composition is great, well done.
