It's not right ya know that don't ya the flies I have seen (and mind you they are not in abundance like they used to be) are black, how come you guys get all the pretty coloured flies, beetles, butterflies etc
Just about everything I find to photograph is either Black, Brown, Grey, or White....... got given a big spider what colour was it .. GREY
Now I know flies come in all different sizes, our what I call house flies are very small not much bigger than the icons in this post, we have whats known as Blow Flies, they are quite large, then we have March Flies they bite and they have big eyes, then we have those Robber Flies that bite too and are really big too..........trying to get an idea of the actual size of your subject how big would you say he/she is ?
Your composition on this one is very nice, love the colours, you can only get better and better Troy, the hardest thing doing Macro is focusing on the eyes, it is not easy to do, and I constantly struggle with it, don't know anyone who gets worse doing Macro Skippy (Australia)

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
That's a nice fly macro. The clarity and focus is good. I think the background is an excellent compliment to your fly. I've been hunting a few times with my 100mm macro and haven't produced anything I'm willing to post. I do have a set of standards for posting, only somewhat though.
Good shot,
Chris

Excellent shots Troy. Lighting is very different to what I normally achieve. Like #1 the best- good pose wonderfull colours and best wings I've seen in a while.
So how was the lighting done?- natural/flash. If flash where was it mounted?
