That's a fine coating of dew, Gerald, with the subject well separated from a good background. I especially like how the fly is holding on with that single extended leg.

Hi Gerald,

A very nice image, but can use some editing especially on the BG. The BG is speckled which is noise and can be taken care of with some software options during post processing. Also, tweak down the saturation of reds and yellows, especially on the stem. Subject is nice and sharp and I like the comp. Othyer than those suggestions--well done.......................Jim
