Hoverfly poser

Took this one a few days ago, I like the background and the way that it is almost like a halo around the hoverfly.

Fantastic shot -- love it. The background truly is stunning... well done!

This is a great shot Dave. Focus and lighting are spot on.

Agree love the bokeh, hover's not all that bad either

Nice shot. Like the background.

Very nice shot Dave.

Linda

Very, very nice Dave!!

Thanks for the kind words guys - I'm quite happy with this image, Hoverfly turned out very sharp (crops show how sharp it is, this isn't alway apparent with the full image), lighting was pretty good as well. I was surprised it was sharp, cos there was a light breeze, and checking the LCD monitor it didn't look sharp.

The background is OOF leaves behind the subject.

Toby - no way, the Aussies are gonna win!!! Aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi! Not long to go now, probably won't be able to watch it though, my TV isn't set up, and my parents can't stand Rugby lol...they love Tennis instead...

11.00pm Adelaide time. Poms 6, Aussies 3. We'll still take 'em though.

Yeah, I'm teleporting over to France and will do a nudie run that'll distract and make the pommies sick lol (the Aussies have been forewarned and will close their eyes lol).
