[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello my friends,
yesterday Heinz (wallhalla15) showed us his last "German" hoverfly in 2005 and gave me the idea also to search for my last one.
I never saw a hoverfly in November here in Germany. This one was still alive at the 12th of November. It was such a warm and sunny day, the last insects and I enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Sorry that I don't know the ID of this hairy hoverfly - perhaps a Merodon equestris (Narzissenschwebfliege).
Anyway - I hope to see this wonderful insects again soon.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody.

Hello Sabine,

Fantastic macro of this hoverfly, and how strange the date that you were able to capture it.

Excellent details, colors, exposure and POV in this wonderful composition,

Thank you for sharing it with us!

Dramatic closeup Sabine. Superb detail up this close. Great POV, I can not only see the eye in great detail, but the face and extended mouthpart doin' its thing..
Excellent! Thank you.

Hi Sabine, i saw Heint´s photo, but your is much better. His is interesting becouse is in "wrogn" date for insect but your is so specific. You become a specialis for insect eye.

Hi Sabine,
schaerfer kanns gar nicht mehr sein, da kann man ja fast die Facetten zaehlen. Toller Bildschnitt somit beschraenkt sich der Focus auf die herrlichen Details. Klasse praesentiert.

Hallo Sabine, vielen Dank für das erstklassige Makro einer Totenkopfschwebfliege (Myathropa florea) (nehme ich an) (Erkennungszeichen die Behaarung und die weißen Flecken auf dem Rücken auf diesem Foto. Schau mal: http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europe/Germany/photo21942.htm
Fantastische Schärfe und Details und eine interessante Perspektive. Da kann ich Dir nur noch viel "Waidmanns Heil" für den Sommer wünschen. Ansonsten wünsche ich Euch Beiden noch ein schönes Restwochenende.
Tschüssi,
Heinz

Super close-up Sabine. Amazing sharpness and details. Looks like that Tamron SP 90mm 1:2.8 Di - Macro 1/1 is a powerfull gadget.

Not much to add - it's mostly been said already. Perfect details in the critical areas of the shot, and another rare insight into a miniature world.
Thanks, Nigel.

Sabine, you really got this one perfect. Wonderfull details on the eye. Excellent sharpness and DOF. The colours are just great. Excellent job you did here.

Hi Sabine
This is a very busy and dramatic macro shot of this hoverfly, right in between the stamen of this flower. The focus & DOF are "drop dead" spot on while the colour are natural and pleasing.
Very well done and TFS.
