What a nice catch. The flowers details are tack sharp. The fly in the air with it is just showing off... :)

Great capture.

Impactante calidad y agudeza sobre todo en la flor David.
El insecto (creo que es una Robber Fly) en vuelo, tambien tiene una acertada nitidez.
Bien hecho... una vez más.

Impressive quality and sharpness mainly in the flower David.
The insect (I believe that it is a Robber Fly) in flight, also has one guessed right clearness.
Well done... once again.

There is a beautiful light and background in this shot. The details od the whites and green in the flowers are lovely. This is quite artistic so needs urgently some framing :)

Great shot! The flower details are very impressive but the fly coming in to land is magnificent. Good work.

Elroyie, a very nice title to this very nice photo.

Great action, great pov and composition. Congratulations.

By the way: in your note, it's written that photography is your second hobbie; which is your first? :)

Hello Elroyie,
A very impressive shot! The fly is definitely not Asilidae, it's a bee fly (Bombyliidae).

Best regards,
Dmitry
