The end of a hoverfly that we often see, but I am afraid that for me, being unable to see the eyes really spoils the shot. A shame, as technically I think it amazingly good for a HH shot.
Have to agree with David here about the eys spoiling it, but liek he said, great tech for a HH!

Thanks for taking the trouble to comment, gents. Sorry about the eyes, but they've been
featured in countless images. I thought I'd try something different, as usual.

Applause for trying something different but the eyes are essential I feel with these little beasties, however if we never try we will never know!

Fantastically sharp for hand held, but given the lack of eyes in this context this does not work for me. Sorry.

Nit covered and as already mentioned, the sharpness and detail in the flower are very good.
