Hi Chi,

This is a wonderful capture. The DOF coupled with the great BG makes it great.


Good work.

Hi Chi

As always this is stunning work from you. What a capture of this little fly zooming along in mid-flight. I like the movement you've captured in the wings, even at F/800 and this just shows how fast those little wings are beating.

The DOF is perfect and the colours are just spectacular. The BG is amazing and the exposure was spot on.

Excellent work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Amazing focus on the eye in spite of this being a high shutter speed shot, Chi.
In addition to that, marvellous perspective and authentic natural colours.
TFS and bye.

Hi Chi

A splendid in-flight macro!! What a magnificent combination!
The details and magnification are surprising and teh fact that it was flying all this time is even more impressive.
Lovely colors and light, excellent POV and DOF, too.
Bravo and TFS

Hi Chi.
You have solved a very difficult task to capture such active insect in flight. Very nice DOF and POV, colours and exposure. But I would risk to apply f/stop 1/1600 and ISO 800, to increase sharpness of the insect and to froze it better. But it is easier to say, than to do. My best regards and compliments. TFS,
Alexei.

Casi perfecta captura en vuelo Chi... creo que sólo faltó un poco de profundidad para captar la totalidad del insecto en foco.
Gran punto de vista, con intensos colores, bien saturados y un perfecto contraste con el difuso fondo.
La iluminación y el encuadre completan una excelente composición.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Almost perfect capture in flight Chi... I believe that it only lacked some depth to capture the entirety of the insect in focus.
Great point of view, with intense colors, well saturated and a perfect contrast with the diffuse bottom.
The illumination and the framing complete an excellent composition.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Hello Chi,
one of your fascinating in flight captures of hoverflies I really love to look at. The head excellently on focus, the necessary motion blur captured with well decided shutter speed - not too short, not too long. Marvellous soft colours. Dense atmosphere.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Una tarea imposible!! la toma en vuelo del sirfido con la velocidad que desarrolla!!la falta leve de foco en abdomen se debe a que no esta perfectamente paralelo al lente dela camara tarea imposible de evaluar en vueloTODA UNA HAZAÑA!!
SALUDOS
