Excellent profile pose against the clean bg, Howard, with super sharp detail on the fly. The brown/yellow colors are very complementary. Great macro image all around.

Nice detail in this Howard! I like how you captured the fly on the edge of the lantana w/ a clean background. Looks like it's all set to depart. Good techs in this image!

Kinda looks like an elephant trying to tap dance. This is a fun image and the details make it extra nice.

Great detail, Howard. I like your comp, and the position of the dull fly against the bright flowers.
