I like it - has a sense that the front fly is checkin' out the other fly :-)

The only niggle I have is that's a little noisy
Nice work!!


cheers, Paul

I think it'd be cool, but with that logo over the subject it kills it for me.

Most people won't click through. Make the picture show up in the thread and you'll get more reply's.

It looks nice, and I do like it, but the flower and fly compete for attention. Because there isn't a compositional connection, my eye tends to stay on the flower as well, and not really move to the fly.

Thanks everyone. It's a quick click and nothing could have been done in such situation for composition.

I think its a really good picture. It's oddly festive looking for macro. The logo doesn't help any, though.

I would not worry about watermarking your photos. It ruins them and it is pretty doubtful that anyone would want to steal them.

YOU have complete control of your camera, and could easily have kept the composition to the fly, and gotten rid of the flower on the left side. Even in a quick click!
(Maybe you can do it now in a crop.)

As lonelyjew has mentioned.

Not relly a macro shot due to the scene, are you using a normal lens or a macro lens? if its macro you need to get in close or sell it and get a 55-100 if these shots are what you like.

generally, macros of insects will have the most impact when the eyes are in the photo and sharply in focus.

Not a flame, but if you post 'quick clicks', you wont get much feedback of any value.
