Hi Radek

WOW! This is truly amazing! The acro capabilities of your camera are really awesome! I didn't know you could go that close and still keep such a great DOF...really terrific!
And the result is a very beautiful shot of this "terrible blood-sucking fly" ;) The title also fits nicely due to all the reflections and colors on the fly's head and body.
The lighting in this shot is the key element in my point of view - the warmer light source from the left and your flash from the right really act as a mood--setter and give you that large palette of colors and reflections.
Very nice and sharp, taken from an excellent POV and with a wonderful contrasting BG, this is indeed an outstnading shot, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Radomir.
What an impressive macro shot with amazing and surprising rich colour palette and tremendous details and sharpness. I like POV a lot and pose of the insect. Diagonal composition of the picture is very attractive too. Flash work is also superb. Bravo and best regards.
Alexei.
P.S. Many thanks for warm comments.

Hola Radomir. WOW vaya Macro. Exelente nitidez y colorido. El tamaño de sus ojos son impresionantes, y el pico que infunde temor a sus adeversarios.
Saludos Luis52.

Wow..is that a close in or what? A rose is a rose...so a fly is a fly, but not so in the macro world. It is much different and when notated even more so.

Gran acercamiento y sobre todo en las condiciones de luz en que se hizo el disparo. Los detalles, sobre todo de la cabeza, son impresionantes. Muy bien captado el aguijón. Didáctico trabajo muy bien realizado.

Brilliant capture of the eyes of this blood-sucking fly, Radomir. The rainbow in one eye justifies your caption.
It is a wonder in itself that you were able to shoot this creature at night.
Very well done and TFS.

Hello Radomir,
Beautiful macro of a Horse Fly, taken from a fine POV with excellent colours, fine use of flash, sharpness and fine dark BG. You can see the blood-sucking mouth parts here too.
Difficult to exactly ID this at this angle but it could be T. bromius.
Well done, thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Splendid macro with great sharpness and stunning details, Radomir! Magnificent POV, colors and bg.
Beautiful presentation and good note.
Thank you so much for sharing it and for your lesson about how to create a theme. I didn´t know you needed at least three photos for the theme to appear.
Thank you very much!

Hi Radomir,
you really know your stuff, Radomir. This highly interesting and unusual way of lighting from two sides, the flash and the f stop of 74099368 (?) have worked wonders. Absolutely great macro! Another of my favorite pictures.
Best regards
