Greenbottle in the Leylandii

Paul Iddon

Spotted this fly in the tall branches of the Leylandii that borders the path down the ginnel by the house.

Had to work on the image cos there was a bit of greenery in the way but I couldn't remove it at the time or the fly would have buggered off.

C&C as always.

Cheers Brian - the cloning work was under it's bum - a stalk of the conifer that was bright green and hid a bit of the body (so I used a bit of the top of it's bum rotated and resized, and then worked on the rest of the brightness.

Wouldn't have worked on this occasion due to where the fly was, and where the stalk was.
