Michael,

Re-loaded the full size 800 image and added the tech details for you. Looks much better now!

I really like the great color and the look on the Dflys face! The DOF is right where it needs to be. The high key lighting is different but it looks good to me.

The perch could be more interesting and the Dfly is a little tight in the frame.

Thank you Robert. What am I doing wrong? I use the paper clip thing :) and upload the full size image but I end up with a thumbnail every time.

That is actually full frame. I thought about backing up a tad but it is a macro shot after all :D

Nice perspective. Like the way she's turned her head - looks funny :)
Nice details in the head & the colours stand out. TFS.
