Wow, that's a big "hairy" deal Monica:wink:
Love the fine details subject, and the "rain drops keep falling on my head" theme :biggrin:
Excellent macro work :toast: :toast:

I like this image. The fly with droplets is a real plus. Considering the light weight of a fly that must make take-off difficult. :wink: I happy to see you doing insects.

This is a super image Monica, the detail on the fly is excellent with the water droplets as a bonus, the whites of the flower look well handled and the bg is diffuse enough not to distract yet support the feel of the weather when the image was taken. :smile:

Nice job- Excellent detail on fly and a warm BG- I'd try to lower a tad the brightness on the upper petals- Thanks for sharing, Fabio

Love the water drops on this guy! Nice find. I have trouble getting that close to flies and you did it with a 60mm focal length. Maybe the water drops weighted him down. :smile: Great detail on the fly, good comp, and nice BG.

Very nice comp., color, dof and background. The water drops on the fly really add to the image.

Top notch macro image. Love the drops on the fly. Flower nicely exposed and bg is just fine. :toast:
