Default Fly on my Chrysanthemum

Photographers Comments
Experimenting away with my manual settings today, (I will get it together) and my fun was spoilt by this pesky fly!

Ah! the old Fuji S9500. I have one of those. You have a remarkably clean image here considering that, mine always gives more noise than Heathrow Airport on a busy day. I like the colours, very vibrant, and the black of the fly is a good contrast. Good shot.

Hi everyone, thanks for the fantastic and varied comments I thought you might need some warmth on your screens after all the snow you've just had......I'm sorry if I blinded some of you LOL.'....esp Merv and Lisa!
Rob am pleased to see that you realise what I've got to work with, my Fuji can be the bane and joy of my life...but it gives me more pleasure at the end of the day.
Denny....the fly was soooo lazy it wouldn't shift, I was about to catch it to feed to the chameleons.lol

Ta to Paul too nice to meet you in the forums
