I thought I'd add to the list of hover-flies on yellow flowers. Like Carolyn before, I am not sure if this image belongs here or in the macro forum.

Techs: 1D3/180mm, ISO640, 1/6s@F14, Tripod+cable shutter, Natural light.
Taken at Riverside Park, Milwaukee.

Thanks for looking.

Govind - Party crasher looks great. Your POF is perfect - the closest areas are all in good focus and so is the Hover. Frame works well for me.

Excellent, Govind. I love the patterns on the back of the hoverfly.

Exceptional detail and color in the hoverfly, Govind, which is well positioned in the frame.

Excellent image, Govind. The fly is perfectly captured, and the dof as a whole works extremely well. I like the way the flower centre dominates the frame, with the fly seeming to intrude upon the scene !

The colors match very well both between the fly and the rays and between the green flower center and the background. The fly is well positioned. Nicely seen.
