Challenge: DPC Album Cover (Advanced Editing II*)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Canon
Location: home
Date: Jul 19, 2004
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Abstract, Humorous
Date Uploaded: Jul 25, 2004

 This fly was sitting on my window (not water). I used my sigma 70-300 in macro mode, but i still had to crop it to 500 px square. Lots of saturation added especially to the red eyes. Sharpened lots and filtered with neat image.

Striking colors. Amazing what you can see in a macro. Nice graphics. Amazing clarity.

Absolutely sensational macro shot. Love it as an album cover as well .... but would prefer it as just the photo as it is so great (text great though for album, so no points lost at all, I just think this is such a sensational macro!). The colours are particularly good for a shot of this type. 10

Great macro, what is the surface he's on? It almost looks like a pan-shot, and I like the effect it gives.

Whenever I see a fly, I only have one person in mind. Or maybe I am wrong. Excellent colors. Good placement of text. a 10!

Great macro work - looks like way better than 1:1. Colors on the fly really snap. Not sure about the way you've added the text

Cool title name.

The visual here of the fly is too great to apply the title end of the challenge.

Great macro shot! The title could have been better though.

Like the pic but not the text. I'm not going on font etc as this is still about the photography to me BUT one of the things I dislike is the composition of the fly and text.

A fantastic picture, but lame writing

Very good macro :) I'm not too keep on the text tho. I'd have preferred if it didn't overlap the fly's leg.

Nice pic of the fly. It almost looks fake.

Great macro shot. SUPER crisp focus but maybe widen the aperture to include the lower thorax.
