I would prefer a bit more space on the right and, like I commented on your last image, the colours of the Drone Fly don't look quite right to me. Too pale and orangey, but I'm not quite sure what may have caused that. But that all sounds more negative than I intended :smile: It's a nice sharp image showing good technique. A nice 'perch' too.

Hello Matt. The colour of the fly is nearly as it was, apart from a tiny bit of saturation for visual impact. The colour of the fly struck me as unusual that is why I photographed it. :smile: As for the space on the right, I'm a BIF fan that's how I like them. :eek: :wink:

that's interesting David, it does seem a slightly different colour to the ones I see around here. I also like them big in the frame by the way, but not always so keen on central compositions. That's entirely subjective though, I realise that. :smile:

Very different David, the image looks like it's been shot on film, although that could be my eye's :biggrin: nice one.

Very nice David, the central comp doesn't bother me much with this one, superb detail as always!

Cheers,

Lewis.
