A hoverfly takes a break from, well... hovering!

Actually, its doing its job and seeking out aphids that could destroy crops.

Having all that greenmakes the hoverfly stand out brilliently given its size in relation to the entire shot. I like the extent of the blurred BG to emphasise the the FG interest; well captured

I would of liked to of seen slightly more of the fly as the corn head somewhat takes over, perhaps this is what your trying to portray, but even so its a wondeful natural capture of natures little wonders!

I really used the corn-head to show the hoverfly's environment and to give a sense of scale

I love it! You are very creative. Love the colours, the DOF, and the detail of the hoverfly, composition and the scale...just beautiful!
