[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,
This is my first photo to TrekNature.
This is also my first time trying to take this kind of 'nature' photos.

I am a big fan of one of my colleague's nature photos, especially those macro on insects and flowers. So i give myself a try this morning.

But i really don't know what flower and what insect is this. Looks like a normal fly for me. (huh? fly eat flower wan ar? haha)..

Using my Olympus C730, i set to Aperture Priority, f/3.2 and with no tripod i aim directly to the fly..

Cropped, resized and frame added to this image. No other enhancement.

Ok..critiques and comments are welcomed.

Have a nice day
-thong-

Thong, Good top-view of a ??? (I dont think it is a fly, perhaps a flying ant?) on this beautifull flower witch I ignore the name too.
Welcome on TN. Enjoy and improve yourself!

Nice first shot Thong.
The odea is good the colors as well. Good framing.
But the focus is really soft.
I'm sure it's gonna be better for the next post.

Bienvenido a TN Thong.... hermosa primera imagen con bella composicion con un atinado encuadre lateral.
Agradable colorido con buen DOF... tal vez la agudeza no sea el punto fuerte del imagen, pero el resultado final es muy bueno.

Welcome to TN Thong... beautiful first image with pretty composition with an accurate lateral frame.
Pleasant colorful with good DOF... perhaps the sharpness is not the strongpoint of the image, but the final result is very good.

Welcome here to TN and you have come to the right place to learn of notmal flies and other not so normal beings.

I like your 1st image a lot and find the composition and sharpness to be good.Very well done.

Thanks for posting and I hope to see lots more of your work containing "normal" beings.

Very interesting flower and critter. Welcome to TN. Nice shot, and an example of a note for all first timers. Great!

Hi. Welcome to TN as i have posted my first photo these days too. But you have done a wonderful work. i liked the colors of the flowers mainly. The insect is an ordinary one but the flower is very beautiful. Do you know the program called neatimage used to remove noise ? i'll use in this photo then you can see if the result worth. It's a free program. Regards. Eduardo
