Amazing how the backlighting shows the translucence of the insects body. Very nice detail.

Excllent close-up because of the terrific backlighting on the hoverfly, Gigi. The clarity in the thorax abd wings is amazing.

A great catch, Gigi.  The details in the fly are awesome and the lighting really set it and the central flower parts off beautifully.

Now that's something different!  Very well composed and processed. It's easy to teach someone how to use a camera but I think spotting and composing images is a separate talent and you seem to have it Giuseppe. Graham

I appreciate your work, excellent job on this Giuseppe .. I like most how the viewer is pulled into the scene/frame & forced to examine the unique pose. A work of art because of your eye for shot, & the picture tells a wonderful story. Natures glory is revealed, with the magical light of a new day,, And the hoverflies breakfast is already on the tableenlightened
CONGRATULATIONSdevil
