Well thats what Google told me :D .

I just sit at my backdoor with one pot plant as comapany - my Pepper plant, and you would be surprised how many insects i see during the day, literally dozens of species on one plant, they generally go for the flowers but i always get blown shots when i take shots with bright whites .

I have no idea why the background turned out black ...

Wow Gordon, that's superb! I think that's the best shot I've seen from you yet. Stunning. Lighting, sharpness and DOF are both perfect. You even got the hoverfly to pose for you!

Hiya Gordon,
That's a super fine shot, I agree with Athena about the moody feeling.
Cheers for now

Superb, and I love the black bg (light fall-off?). It isolates the hoverfly nicely.

Oh and i thought i would mention this whilst its fresh in my mind - a small mini-tip :- i usually have in my pocket a small pair of fold up scissors for clipping unwanted leaves away, like the one in this shot :D , unfortunately i`ve misplaced them ...
