Our Father, who art in Heaven...

...give us this day a break from that Iddon bloke



First hoverfly of the season on the laurel in the garden.

Got a couple of reasonable efforts, and in the first one it looks like the hover is praying, hence the title

Fill in flash used (got my replacement Marumi today).

C&C as always looked for and gratefully received.

great compositions Paul

but light looks too harsh , fill flash in bright sun? another diffusion layer needed maybe?

Both Phil - the sun was coming in but the head was a bit shadowed so tried to blip some light in there.
