A small Hoverfly. This was taken under a lot of trees that's why the background is so dark.

racketman Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 05, 2007 03:02 | #13 I'm less keen on the black BG for this shot, prefer some colour like your lovely damselbug shots. Obviously if foilage is far away and flash is used this isnt always possible. Good detail but not one of your stand out shots. Toby

Linda Thanks Linda. dreamline wrote in post #4067996 Great detail Brian. Personally, as long as the background is not distracting, I don't worry about it. I think a black background works well for a lot of macro shots. (Ok, and perhaps it's a lot easier to get the shot... )Thank you Bernie. racketman wrote in post #4068015 I'm less keen on the black BG for this shot, prefer some colour like your lovely damselbug shots.
