Fly with drop of water

Your comments will be most appreciated. Many thanks!

Beautiful! (I wonder when you find these fly's with drops, i never have seen it, anyway, a very nice photo!)

A wonderful macro shot. Good colours, and very good focus. Best regards, Torfinn.

Very nicely done. This is something that I have never seen.

Quite amazing that you've captured such detail! I can even see the texture on the eyes. Excellent shot! Rgds Carole

Great macro! Superb detail, perfect focus and dof.

That little drop of water makes a really good macro something really special. I would love to know the shooting details.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments and ratings!

Wow, don't know how I missed this.  Excellent work, Ralton.  For my education I wish I knew more how you accomplished this.

Thanks Wayne

It's not such a great pic, there's lots of noise from the ISO800 (on an older camera), etc. No special technique either, just move slowly, use a tripod (becomes quite clumsy when crawling around in the garden), and more "side-on" than "head-on" so that more of the fly is in focus...
