I thought I'd join Hoverfly week with this guy I took last weekend. Nikon D600, 150 macro, f11, 1/320, iso 640. Cropped 25%. Comments, suggestions, and questions welcome. :wavey:

:toast: Very impressive & colorful macro / closeup here, Scott. Detail is excellent in the DOF zone.

Beautiful piece of work Scott, and the thumbnail is a bit deceptive. The larger version explodes the work. Very well done...

Beautiful composition, background, and bokeh. I like that all the colors of the flower are also on the fly, isn't it great when the subject matter color coordinates itself! This will definitely make a great big print.

I like the POV, the colours on the wings and the effect of the petals.

Congrats

Beautiful. So many different patterns. It could work without the pink bottom as well - two images could be made of these shot.
Great job!

This is stunning. Its one thing to get a flower perfectly focused, but the fly? Wow.

Scott: Perhaps the best hoverfly image I've seen here in a long time. Fantastic. >=))>
