Beautiful detail in the hoverfly. A really unusual BG, plenty of space for some text if required. :smile:

I'm not into macro Maggie but the detail in this insect deserves a comment - wonderful!

lovely detail on the hoverfly Maggie and nice rich colours too. I'm not sure about the composition though. There's a lot of space above the hoverfly and very little at either side. I would have preferred a landscape version I think. Still a nice shot though and shows good macro technique.

Lovely detailed shot. Love the background too.

Nice background. I'd perhaps give a slight bit more depth of field so the flower is entirely in focus and try to seperate the insect from the flower a tad more by moving camera position slightly. Tristan
