Assuming this is a hoverfly David it looks like it could do with a little brightening. It looks very brown rather than yellow. I can't make up my mind about the flower (you will tell me what it is). I feel the image does need something other than just the hoverfly but not sure about the composition of the flower. Keep changing my mind though - typical woman I know :biggrin: :wink:

Maggie, the colours are true. The image is dark because it was in the shade of my apple cordons so I didn't want to brighten it and give a false impression the flower is that of a smooth sow-thistle Sonchus oleraceus . I was going for a minimilist approach in this image. A woman changing her mind - well I never!! :biggrin: :wink:
