this is really beautiful Ram, the hover is very well focussed against a soft BG, which is really cool ... :toast:

This is sweet, Ram. The colors are beautiful and the DOF sets the fly apart from the bg nicely. :toast:

Hi Ram,

Great job on this one. I like the overall composition, especially with regards to the placement of the fly. That OOF background really brings out the fly. Nicely done!!!

Great capture, Ram. This is another one where the thumbnail doesn't do this justice. The detail in the fly is fantastic, as is the irridescence in the wings.
