Thank you for your kind comments.
So far (with one exception) every one of my entries has outscored the previous one. Maybe someday I'll make it into the top ten.
I tried to use a flash on this guy but between the time the flash would fire and the exposure would be complete he was off the leaf, in the air only to immediatly set down on the leaf again. Consequently, watching only the LCD display, I would get him framed, take the shot, the screen goes black and when the shot is displayed, no fly! I did this a number of times. Each time he would take off as soon as the flash went but too quick for the exposure to register. It was like trying to capture a ghost. In one of the outtakes, he can be seen just above the leaf in full flight but just barely distinguishable as a blurr. |

| My favorite of all the fly, grasshopper, bee etc. shots. It is very clean and sharp. I really like the DOF! |

| Hmmm...I don't really like to give high scores to a fly (or whatever it is) but it's an awesome photo! |

| Nicely focused on the fly. I like how you have composed the picture with the subject in the corner and slightly rotated. |

| Nice focus and detail you have achieved on the insect. The colour is pleasant and the little irridescence on its back adds to the image. I just feel it is framed or cropped a little oddly. But then again, nature does not always cooperate, does it! |

| Great DOF. I like those circular spots in the background. Nice detailing on the fly too. As much as I hate those guys, he sure is pretty up close. 8 |
