Nice sharp image of both the flower and the hoverfly. Not a subject for those allergic to stingers of these and other creatures, so I don't think I would hang it on my wall. But no suggestions for improvements either.

Ah, Patricia, but those in the know know these don't sting. I don't think any fly stings. Some can definitely bite, though. But not these.

Nice presentation of this little guy, Charles. Love the cinquefoil as well.

Hey Charles, great details on the fly and flower, would have been nice if it was larger in the frame. :toast:

Nice capture, Charles. I'd be inclined to go with a tighter crop or clone out the OOF branches. :smile:

I changed the title of this from "Hoverfly" to more better express its intent.
