Taken a few weeks ago,I uploaded it in black and white,and this is the color version,F13,1/3s,iso200,cannon macro 100mm IS L F2.8,cropped a little,sharpened for web.7D CAMERA.tripod.
Hi Chris, good comp with the leaf stretched across the frame, and excellent detail on the fly, with good DOF. I like the water droplets too - had it been raining?
Chris this is one of your best to date, a really strong image, composition exposure focus all excellent. For me the colour version is the better of the two.
Nothing to criticise really, if pushed I would say possibly apply a little NR on the background and maybe just maybe slightly less sharpening on the grass/water droplets.
Super image -well done.
Thanks for looking and comments,Stuart,this was taken early morning,and is morning dew,Jonathan there is a touch of noise in the BG,but on the original,it is ok,must be something to do with uploading.thanks again.
I'm surprised at the slow shutter speed. This fly must have been rather still. Great details. The position of the fly allows me to have a good view of it. Lovely bg and leaf.
Hi Christopher. I much prefer this to your B&W version! Excellent sharpness and detail for a ss of 1/3 sec - even with a tripod! Nice comp and background too. This is a very strong image!
