Ouch, my head!

Thanks for looking and the comments on my last post.

Took the camera out to one of my local nature reserves today, I did some fieldwork to hopefully start a project on something a bit different (for me anyway!) soon. Here is a drone fly, eristalis pertinax I think, on ragwort (senecio jacobaea). I liked the pose I captured here, looks like me after a night on the real ales! I forgot to charge the batteries in my flashgun so it died early on, but I think the DoF is acceptable.

Techs: Canon 7D, EF100mm f/2.8L IS macro USM lens, handheld. ISO 800, f/8, 1/200 th sec. Imported with ACR, processed in CS6, NR with Neat Image.

C's and c's welcome as always.

Thanks.

It looks good to me, the pose is comical but the detail is cracking, a fine effort

Great picture, great title. You have handled the yellows well, often a problem in my experience.

The large version looks very good, and agree with the excellent job re the yellows, the pose isn't bad either

Nicely done, Paul
