that looks menacing, nicely photographed, like how the light fades from left to right across the image

he was facing down in the actual photo Maricua .. and i added a much more interesting background to the actual oof green grass .. but i wanted to imbue it with more meaning in a way .. life can be so difficult .. and it seems like we face so many up-hill hurdles .. and when you think about it .. the climb .. altho difficult at the time .. can lead to some wonderful things .. well that's what i keep telling myself .. :)

Very nice indeed! What a fantastic looking creature! And aperture only 3.5 but not a bad depth of field on the head. Was this focus stacked?

Stunning hoverfly macro! You have captured a great depth of field at a nice low ISO with the focus just where it needs to be. I really like the clean background. The water drops are a very nice addition too. I don't mean you added them because I know you don't but that they add to the overall photo.

Not an easy shot. They do not stay in one place very long. The dew drops are a plus.
