Not sure whether this should be in Macro but I felt the allium held centre stage. The hoverfly about to land was on its way around the flower.

Ian: Hey, this is just a party crasher so this is the right place. Interesting crop. I like how the BG complements the flower and critter. Nicely done. >=))>

Ian - Hoverfly pretty well frozen in flight. The Globe Flower also looks to be in good condition. I guess your camera was in landscape orientation when the fly came into the frame, else a vertical also would look very nice for this action.

Very nice, Ian. I like the way the allium stands out from the attractive, contrasting bg. Perfect dof managment for the alium, hover, and bg. The flying hoverfly is a good capture and nicely positioned in the frame.

The party crasher makes this one for me. Excellent work again, Ian.

Very nice, Ian! The fly makes this unique. Also like how the allium seems to be hovering in mid-air. Nice work!
