Like the shot a lot. The iridescence and eye detail is cool, but seems a little soft. Is the photo heavily cropped?

Cheers

basflt

not to much crop
its a bit OOF

the bug was about 3mm long
this was the only reasonable shot , the others turned out no good

edit
tried editing some more
is this better ?

Bend The Light

Yes, second version is much better!
I was going to say the focus seemed to be on the fly's back, but that doesn't seem to be the case on the second version.

Was he just landing, or something? His back legs seem to be doing a dance behind him...

Nicely done, though.

basflt

he was running around

that w the leg is itching or scratching or cleaning perhaps

thanks anyway
guess i got to pay more attention on editing my images , before uploading

the reason for posting ;
the color , i never saw it on a fly , only on hoovers

Lovely capture- a little Chloropid fly I think. Actually prefer the first version - 2nd one looks oversharpened for my taste.

Yes the second photo seems a little too much, maybe somewhere in between?

Still a nice shot!

basflt

thanks everyone

second is indeed overdone
thats what happens if you try to edit a pic that is not good to start with in the first place

i looked it up ;
a Chloropid fly , indeed

GOLDENORFE

basflt

macro-world shows really unbelievable stuff sometimes
things we are normally not aware of
