[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this sunny summer picture yesterday morning - yellow variations.
Early in the morning, insects are not so fast and busy compared to the warm hours of the day. So, it was possible to take some pictures of hoverflies at breakfast to take in the energy needed to start for the day.
The species shown is
- Helophilus trivittatus
- family: Syrphidae

Body length: about 16 mm (a large hoverfly)
Distribution: Europe, Central Asia and North America.

- natural bright sunlight
- ISO 200
- hand-held (elbows as support)

Hello Peter,
Superb macro of H. trivittatus, a species that is flying around with us in Sweden now.
The fine sharpness makes it stand out even against the yellow tagetes and the composition is excellent. Fine DOF too!
Nice to view!
Well done and TFS

Hi Peter,
neben der Waldschwebfliege ist diese hier eine der schönsten die wir hierzulande haben.
Excellente Bildschärfe und die Farbkombi ist sensationell. Sonne pur, ein richtig fröhliches Bild, vielen Dank und Gruß

Hi Peter,
this is really a successful photo with excellent details and sharpness.
The title Yellow + yellow is suitable with the picture- the colours are good and natural what is unfortunately not always the case in TrekNature no more.
I wonder why there are 'only' 7 critiques.

Hej Peter,
These flies are small so you did a great close-up with very fine details and sharpness.
The colours and lighting are very nice and the exposure are also very good.
Very good work.

Hallo Peter,
Sehr farbenfrohes und leuchtendes Bild, Peter. Diese "Sonnenliebhaberin" kommt natürlich gut an.
Ich mag sie auch die Sumpfschwebfliegen. Sehr gelungenes Bild, gute Komposition und Schärfe.
Liebe Grüsse

Hello Peter,
I just got some poor shots of this one the other day! You've done very well though, this macro is excellent, great sharpness and fine colours. I like the Pov and its pose on the bright yellow flower.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Peter,
Outstanding macro shot of this Hoverfly with immaculate sharpness and spot-on focus. Lovely yellow colours and and you have captured a superb pose. I like the sheen on its wings too. Excellent POV to portray its dorsal view and very nicely composed. Kudos.
