Fly on a leaf

[Bob Blanchard]

Again, not really my genre, but I enjoy dabbling in macro a bit. I do see a bit of noise in the darker green area, so may need to clean that up if I decide to keep this one.

Hi Bob I like this a lot Got a great expression on the fly About the other thing you could have done is slightly lower angle? Would suggest to crop a bit tighter Will post below !!!! Excellent I'm inspired to go out and get some flies !!!

Thanks Al. Like your crop, and agree that a bit lower POV would've been better. I think the complimenting element in this is that leaf edge. It really accentuates that tiny DOF, and I think adds impact to what would normally be a fairly boring subject.
