Long Way To The Top

I was out shooting some soft focus abstracts of grass at the edge of a lake, and spotted this fly and focused on him with the lens wide open to soften the cluttered BG. I didn't clean any of the noise as I like the grainy abstracty look in this one. Fuji S5 Pro, Sigma 180 macro, Tripod, F3.5

This works great Mike and the tittle brought a big smile to my face !!!!

Excellent composition and just the right subject Love the selective focus on the bug !!! Big Congrats !!!

looks like his on a mission Mike!! Although small, the dark subject stands out well against the light BG. Just wish the light BG was less extensive.
