Another attempt at more macro style shooting, there was strong backlight from the setting sun as this unidentified insect flies up to a plant and close to some spider webs.

Hi Dvir,
This is an artistic rendition that I enjoy perusing over. The fly in the warm backlight is a nice touch and really adds a needed focal point to the image. well done.

It is a really good idea Dvir, and unusual shot and a well spotted opportunity. It would be great to be able to see a moth in such a position.

Hi Dvir. An unusual and interesting take on a macro shot. I like the colorful rim lighting and the insect centered in the bright background really makes the image. Very nicely seen and executed!

Thank you all for the comments, I am glad my little experiment with this shot has been well received, and I shall try some more experiments in the future.
