[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here's a fine pair of flies. The large one is a Green Bottle Fly and the tiny one is a Black fly.
Here in the Midnorth, blackflies are out and wanting some blood. These little guys can punch a hole in your skin if not killed right away. They dig deep and stay in there until they blow up. Sometimes, you don't feel them bitting until you scratch the itch and scrape the crust that is dried up.
Anyway, hope you like this double, thanks for looking.

Hi Mike,
it's a nice picture of this odd pair.
It's the same here too, the black flies and mosquitoes can be a real pest in the summer but thats nature.
Well composed, good details and nice colours.
Very well done, my friend.

Are you well ? and how is your back ?

That is very cool Mike! Kinda like the momma fly and baby fly going out for a stroll on the flower. The bright yellow flower gives a great backdrop for the flies. Excellent detail and exposure!

Beautiful sharpnes and colour. Love it!

Hello Mr. Hodgson!

Excellent macro. Quite the size discrepancy thing goin' on there..This little black surely has fly envy ;)
Very good DOF, POV, color, exposure, sharpness, detail, and framing
Very well done.

Hi Mike,
great details in this shot.
The eye of the fly is amazing.
