This robber fly was in our backyard on the tip of a Bird of Paradise leaf. Taken with Canon 5Diii, f7.1, 1/320 sec, iso 320, 100-400 ISLii, at 390 mm. Thank you for your comments and suggestions for improvements.

That's one fuzzy fly, Ed.  The details in the larger version are great.  I'm also intrigued by the back legs in the air pose.

Wow, Ed, this is really an excellent macro shot of this little guy!  Like Mark, I am intrigued with the hind legs hanging out.  Great pose, detail and color.  I even like the way the barely visible areas of the background seems to frame him!  Nicely done.
