Came across the first owl flies of the season. Bening early morning, they were quite calm and allowed me to make images

Hi Balan,
You always manage to find some interesting insects and this one is very nice. The owl fly is fairly sharp with exceptional colors on the abdomen. Comp is pretty good with nice smooth BG...................................Jim

This is a great catch Balan. I really like the detail in the venation especially in the larger version. Nice colors in both the insect and the neutral BG. Good work.

Nice catch, Balan. I really like the scattered colors in the body. The tips of the antennae are amazingly large.

I will content myself with the critiques of others here. The detail and the BG are the best features. Good job!

Very interesting little creature and nicely captured. Pretty sure I have never seen one of these in person
