Amazing Thomas. I really like the side view and all in focus. Dave

[Thomas Herou]

Big thanks,Al and Dave!

Sharp image. You pulled off some lovely details in the difficult regions such as the lower side of the abdomen. Find the bright strip of OOF region on the left a bit distracting but we often have to take what nature offers.

Fantastic! Love the angle and the composition. Details are sharp and very nice! Is that a dew drop that his front foot is sitting in? That's fantastic!

[Fabs Forns]

You seems to have a way with flies, no offense :)

Excellent details and colors. Good frame placement too.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Thomas,
Very well done indeed for the reasons mentioned. I love the diagonal placement and the colors and details are fantastic. Just enough DOF in my opinion to make this really work.

[Thomas Herou]

Thanks everyone!
Julie,I think its a drop from a previous short rainfall.

[Bob Allen]

WOW! My kind of shot. Great detail, focus, & exposure. BTW what Julie thought was rain is the insect's pulvillus ("pad" in English) which works like a suction cup, so they can land on odd surfaces, even upside down.
