Fly

I saw this in my garden and am not sure what it is, I thought he

looked cute!

Kim :o)

Usually I am not found of macro...but this is superb, Kim. Sharpness is astonishing with a lot of detail on the wings. I also like to see the background, which makes this shot a different macro, and places the insect in a living environment. Very good shot for me, maybe could you even increase contrast a little to enhance these nice colours

Cheers

Hi Kim,

What you saw in your garden is a Bee Fly. Very nice photograph of one of my favorite insects. Thank you for sharing!

Your eye is good, but your lens is not...

In fact, I do not know exactly what happens with your photos, but I think something is not working correctly. Your images have "grain", as we say in french.

Did you apply a filter on the image, on your PC, or did you make a 400 or 800 ISO choice ? Or something else ?

Your image is superb, but it could be fantastic !

Could you tell more about it/them ? (I had the same feeling with your nice LadyBug...)

Thank you for your critiques.

Guy, lenses do not cause grain or noise (it's a digital image therefore grain would not apply). I sharpened the image with photoshop cs and am very happy with the outcome. Kim :o)
