Beautfiully detailed image Phil. It's quite central but it works as, although my eye tends to follow the birds eye loking towards the edge of the frame, the insect then holds my attention and stops my eye leaving the main subject.
Nice one.

Hi Phil,

Agree a little central, but still a very nice shot with great colour, the hoverfly tops it off!

Cheers,

Lewis.

Very nice, great detail and excellent sharpness at that speed! I like the perch too.

A shame its a hoverfly that has been caught. Such is life. Excellent image.
