Sciomyzidae

[Thomas Herou]

I'm testing my new ringflash and it's been a while since I've used one.
My old had only TTL,and the newer cameras has only P-TTL ore similar
system.
This is a small fly (ap.8mm)and belongs to the Sciomyzidae-family.
The scale is 2:1.

Thomas, I'd say you got the hang of it. Beautiful image...great clarity and composition. I love all the intricate details! I would suggest cleaning up the 2-3 small white spots on his body if you feel that's something the image warrants. Otherwise...I love it!

[Thomas Herou]

Thanks,Julie.
The white spots are pollengrains.I like to leave some natural defects in my pictures,
but thanks for the tip.

Hey Thomas, great details, and nice BG, I would also clone out the white spots. Very well done.

Nice details on the fly with excellent bokeh. Nice and optimum use of flash - looks very natural.

I'm glad flies are the size they are! A nice peak into the world they live in. Very detailed. The eye draws me right in. O no!
