    This Flower Fly (family Syrphidae, Sphaerophoria spp. - I think), a wasp mimic, was foraging on a daisy flower. 40D, 100 mm f/2.8 macro, 1/250, f/16, ISO 100, MT-24 twin lites (diffused), hand held. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

    Liked the sharp head and the details in it. Nice composition too.
    Might increase the brightness of the white petals (in the upper half of the image) which look a bit dull currently.

    Hey Steve,
    This does look a bit dark overall on the whites and bug overall....especially towards the back half. Great comp as usual and the shrpness is where it needs to be!

    Thanks for the comments Kaushik and Roman. Here is a somewhat brighter version. :)

    Steve, this looks really good. I prefer the yellows in the first post and the whites in the second post. :)
