Bristle fly

Hi everyone, was out and about yesterday taking some photos at a reserve not to far from home, trying new things again, was a little bit windy and overcast and not much about, which would sit still that is. So heres another fly pic, had 1/2 a dozen shots before it went on it's way. iso 1600, f10, 1/160sec, exposure compensation -2/3. and ran it in neat image.c and c welcome, thanks for taking a look.

Excellent shots- you are doing really well with these natural light shots.- Notice in #2 you have captured the hairy eyeball syndrome.

Agree with Brian about you getting the bacon with natural light! Is #2 a crop from #1?

Thanks Brian V, I'm finding each time I go out I learn something new, and i'm amazed at their hairy eyes, you'd think they'd pluck them.

thank you BigAl, yes, number 2 is a crop from #1, I was playing around with the composition and felt #2 looked better.

Excellent shot , very well done. Sharp and crisp. Great Job.

Great captures hf, you have captured an amazing amount of detail in the fly.

Thnks BE for comments, i'm surprised how the photo turned out.

THank you dancinec for your kind words.

Now that's what is called fine art
Very good composition and utilization of natural light
may be some colour control would be nice , to minimize the pale action of the overcast light
Noticed the hairs in the eyes
Regards

Very nice, it shows what a work of art nature can produce, EW.

Very nice close-up on the 2nd pic. Boost the saturation and post again...

Cheers.........

I love your macro work here. It's simply fantastic. Every detail and hair of the fly is minutely detailed sharply!!!

Nice to hear they have reserves for flies #2 is a great looking photo.
Just reread - ISO1600 - so you were using natural light - even better. Wonder if D200 could match that?
