Another outstanding image, Carel! Very nice light, the fly is giving you a great pose, the water drops add interest, you have good overall sharpness and detail, and I like the diagonal comp and the clean background. You have a winner here! :cheers:

Carel, Steve is right...you have a winner! Great composition, wonderful color, fantastic BG, good use of your DOF, and the waterdrops send it over the top...great job! :cheers:

Hey Carel,
I just passed through the Netherlands on my way back from Tanzania! No stop this time and it was rather grey. Can't add much except to add my great job!!!

Absolute stunner of a shot... you nail comp, detail, IQ and exposure... one to be proud of... excellent macro photography!:w3

A very neat image. Lots of dof for fly and sharp and well focused. I like the nice diagonal as well as the colours and clan bg.
Water drop s are a nice bonus.
Very well done.
