My smiley friend in sunny Mexico!!! You know I often wonder how you and all your 'women' are doing. Thanks for your visit, I always 'smile' when I see your name!!!

warm regards, Gail

you so funny!! and right!!! tnks for your visit Jamie

I always appreciate when you drop by Garry. I admire your Portfolio so much, so this is truly nice to hear your input!!!

Always appreciate your visits, thank so much!

I like your processing. That the image is not a classic macro is not a problem to me. It's good art and it's original.

Gail, you did rightfully to choose this shot for applying your edit skills,coming up with this artsy result, bringing to us the microcosmosmos we tend to overpass .  The fly looks like emerging from  an unreal world to reality , the epicenter being the perfectly focused eyes which is what really matters. Compliments, fond regards, my friend!

Always a treat to see that you have visited Chris!!! Thank you for your input on this composition. This was a Macro of a Fly but the background was pretty blown on the 'right'. I decided I would use it for a Digital Alt. Composition and try to find a suitable texture to replace the background. I'm glad you found the final image to your liking.

Wishing you the best always, Gail

A fascinating crossover from photography to art.  Well done.

Flies are not normally considered by most as attractive creatures.  But you made this one look like a princess, especially with your post-processing.

Well done, Gail.

Thankyou Margo, appreciate those kind words.

Actually I find flies to be 'vile' but they are very interesting to Photograph, good subjects because of all the hairs etc and especially the compound eye. Many thanks for crowning this one a 'Princess'!!!
