Hi Gerhard , yes it's a ugly fly but it's a very nice shot.
You have very good hand with your tubes.
Nice colours and good details.
Great note.
Very well done.

Ugly could be nice :-) Your photo is great, but this fly...well - not :-)

Mmmmm,looks tasty....if you're a mantis.
Excellent photo Gerhard! He looks a bit mangy. Do you think he's losing hair or just starting to grow it? Reminds me of Jack Nicholson early in the morning.

Gerhard, You must be getting quite the suntan hangin' out by the pool so often! ;-)) An excellent macro showing this little Hedgehog in fine detail. You really are stretching your macro legs here!! Great post!!!

These flyes are really strange, I can still remember one similar to this called something like Tachina fera published here in TN. It seems wet, and that ground looks like your swiming pool... did you rescue it? Greetings.

An horrible great shot. I envy your F/22. Limited to F/8 with my Canon.
Good work (picture and note). Thanks.

He looks like a toilet brush! What a bristly specimen he is! Good work Gerhard, excellent detail. Yes, it is ugly.

A real WoW of a macro so much detail we see here gerhard, as you say the whole family are a nasty bunch though I susepect that with-out them we would be over run by certain pest species.
I know it is probably not available but the DOF just drops off as it leaves the far side and it just feels as though it could do with a fraction more.

Now, do tell this chap to spruce up before he poses for another photo session. It's bad enough that he's got stubble everywhere, but being covered in sand as if he's just come from a romp with the missus is just not decent ;-))
Great capture with very good DOF (I see you worked for that) and excellent details, fading in and out nicely.

This has to be the most bizzare fly I've even seen. Can't imagine what reaction I'd have if one landed on me....eeekk.
Brilliant macro composition, there is nothing to critique, its just damn good.

This huy is a real bum. He doesnt care about looks, he just wants a drink and then possibly a meal.

The sharpness is amazing and you made fugly look good.

Thanks for posting
