Obviously a Dutch fly, with its orange abdomen, Tom :smile: :wink: Not BIF enough for me. Only joking. :biggrin: :wink: Plenty of detail. Very nice indeed.

A very sharp and well detailed shot Tom, I think you could go a little bit bigger in the frame on this one, nicely done.

Nice detail, could you have moved the camera position slightly so that the fly didn't appear to be facing slightly away from you?
