Alfred,

Excellent detail on the d-fly and the leaf edge looks like you could saw wood with it. You captured the irridescence of the body beautifully. I do wish the background would have held the green throughout.

Alfred, Nice details and the edge of the leaf looks great!! I like the pano crop it compliments the subject nicely.

[Steve Maxson]

Good sharpness and nicely lighted with the flash, Alfred. I like the comp and the pano crop. Well done.

[Julie Kenward]

Gosh, that's a nice DF, Alfred! I agree that the BG would be nicer if it was all one color but I'd go with the beige so it would set off the leaf from the BG.

You do have one very small white spot towards the edge of the leaf that I'd clone out.
