This fly is interesting. The night before I took this pic the temp got down to around 20F. I would have thought this would be enough to freeze it to death....apparently not. The other thing I thought was odd was I took this pic at night. There were no porch lights or anything where I found it. I'm not sure why it would have been roaming around at night.

Hi Sam,
A quite good close-up picture with pretty good sharpness.
Richard did a very good WS with better lighting and sharpness.
You have a nice diagonal but you need a bit more space in the front of the fly, as it is now. it is a bit tight.
Well done.
A belated welcome to TN.

Hi Sam,
Welcome to TN.
I saw your forum post so decided to check out your work here on TN. This is a good detailed image of this fly. Good POV, plain gray BG but does contrast well. The lighting is a bit dark and sharpness could be enhansed. I did a work shop using Photo Shop Elements 4, lightening shadows 10%, added brightness +5, contrast +5, and sharpened with unsharp mask filter with settings: Amount 250%, Radius .3 pixels, and Threshold 0. It really brightened up nicely and sharpening helped IMHO. Richard

Hello Sam,

Excellent POV and sharpness. Very nice light and colours. Very well done.
Cheers,

Mariki
