good image, great color, would have prefered closer if centralised framing like this

Wow! Now that's macro! Great color too. :) Kaz

Good job! Good luck in the challenge. Grayce :-)

Just an incredible shot. I am curious as to how you got such "magnification" of the fly. It is so perfect. lhall
11/14/2002 12:49:00 PM
I like many aspects of this shot: contrasting colours, transparency of wings, how the fly's colours match the background colours. Perfect.

Nice shot, composition could have been improved
11/14/2002 12:09:00 AM
Yup another bug photo, but this one is nicely focused. I like the colors and detail
11/13/2002 09:51:00 PM
nice detail.
thinking maybe a rotation and crop would help the composition.
11/13/2002 09:07:00 PM
nice marco!
11/13/2002 10:30:00 AM
Oh, WOW!! You picked up really good detail on the fly. I'm especially impressed by the wings...good job
11/13/2002 12:06:00 AM
Good work. Only improvements mights be a flat green background (shapes and colours distract the eye), and remove the bud on the left.

very cool and great focus
11/12/2002 09:01:00 PM
These are the most beautiful flys there are and you sid a superb job of capturing him. Great contrast of the flower and it's eyes. Would have cropped it a little more - I would have. Forget the third rules. This would have been a 10 with one flower and fly. But it is still an 8. PTL

Wow, very close up. It looks like his eye is dented in. 9 Sonifo

Wow! Very nicely done. Love the color. Wonderful focus.
11/12/2002 12:04:00 AM
Very colorful! Great shot as well!
11/11/2002 12:31:00 PM
Now that's a close-up! Wish the flower wasn't so ratty (this time of the year unfortunately). Great focus on the eye. Love the shallow depth of field. Jacko.

isn't the macro world great? i love those huge eyes on flies and their shimmering bodies :)
challenge -- met
technical -- pretty good. did you use the greatest DOF that your camera allows? if not, it would be nice to increase it to get the whole flower in focus, too. but i know that digital cameras have a very shallow DOF in macro mode ...
composition -- did you consider rotating 90CCW? while your background is blurred nicely, it works even better w/out strong color changes. just moving around a little sometimes gives a better view.

love the focus.
11/11/2002 07:03:00 AM
Look in my eyes, Baby :-)
I love the colours and the DOF
11/11/2002 07:00:00 AM
where's the bug spray 10
11/11/2002 04:30:00 AM
Great shot lovely colours and just the right point of focus. I would have preferred it to be cropped in portrait and to concetrate on the central flower and the fly. It appears that 2/3rds of the frame are wasted:8 -lamedos-
