Two consecutive natural light shots of the same hoverfly merged together :).

Very nice, I wouldn't have known it was a merged image if you wouldn't have told us.

Nice shots Brian, you nailed the focus and merging the two frames makes it a neat shot indeed.

ha haaaa, brilliant piece of post processing - the only thing that would have given it away was the fact that knowing how 2 hovers react in such close proximity to each other, you would never have got a placement shot like that :lol:

Love the colour of the background to go with them, gorgeous shot.

Great shots Brian. How often do you shoot macro with natural light only?

Brian, your Macro work is probably the best I have ever seen, truly.

Fantastic.

Thanks for the comments- just thought it looked a bit lonely with just one :)

Crypto- I quite frequently shoot macro in natural light now if the light is ok (bright but hazy) I just like the colours you get. Also tend to shoot larger bugs without flash- eg butterflies and dragonflies.

Hell I'm impressed, what a beautiful shot!! I'd love to see more than two on the shot, i.e. cover the frame in them :D

Thanks Mark, Deltoid and Anke :)
Anke- that would be a bit more difficult- my PP skills are a bit limited and I was only able to merge the 2nd hover because it was actually in that position against the BG. The other shots I had were all in the same position as the upper hoverfly so merging the BG somewhere else would be a problem.
