Nice color and composition. Not crazy about the name of the fly, but you've brought some class to the species with this image.

This is totally awesome. I love it. Great Job!

Wow, really beautiful, another great macro!!!

Its good to see you back after a long time, or i have not been seeing your recent posts ;) You have been my 'guru', and this time, you have out done yourself, an excellent pose (how do these bugs listen to you?? ;)). Kudos to the macro king. cheers!

Yep, it's just amazing how you do this! Great job.

Good eye !!!

Mark, I don't even want to ask where you've been hanging around lately.

 

Beautiful image and incredible technique, as always.

 

I'm just relieved you decided to make a macro image of the dung fly and not the dung. Although now that I think about it, you can probably make dung look good, too.

 

Congratulations on another winner.

Mark,

 

Been admiring your work for some time now. This is yet another great shot. Just out of curiousity, how far from the subject were you on this, and what zoom setting did you use on the G3?

Brilliant work Mark. Hope all is well... Dave

Thanx to all for the comments and/or ratings.

 

Pradeep- The bug pictures are seasonal (and the season is arriving). I try to take enough shots to keep me busy through the year, but prefer to only share the best of my work.

 

James- the G3 was at full zoom (or it would vignette) and I had to be about 1.5 inches from the fly. This working distance seems to always be the case with the reverse 50mm technique (unless you reverse the 50 on a camera body).

 

 

Wow.. :)
