    Default Syrphid Fly on a Flower

    I took this image one day in the Black Forest region of Germany, this Syrphid was working this flower over pretty well...oblivious to me, I was able to get real close with the 105 macro.
    I tried many crops of my image, I know I cut off the flower but this was best for me. Iapplied Topaz clean filter and here it is.

    Paul, this is great! I love the effect on the stamens and esp. the outer wing

    Hi Paul, what makes this for me is the detail in the wings and the body. I could go for a bit more on the left but otherwise well handled...

    Paul, I love the filtering and the colors are fantastic. Great looking subjects, maybe a little tight right and left. Nice job, the wings are killer!

    Hey Paul. Really nice work on this. I like the framing. Great colors and background. Agree on the super wing filtering! Nice job.
