Wow really cool image.
I think her eye is my favourite bit.

I've assumed its feminine.
Buzzy and stingy. :P

a breezy day....A BREEZY DAY!!!

How on earth did you manage to take this with wind!! ???

Anyone who has tried outdoor macro work will appreciate just how hard this shot is with any kind of wind.

Brilliant.

Harry thanks for your comments, im afraid i dont know if its a Mr or Mrs, these flies dont give much away in the ID parade!

Oh Den dont get fed up

throw in a made up crit if it makes you feel better

, dont want you to do a disappearing act! and what with these superlaxatives

id be the same coming home with a belly full of Bud and a chop chicken curry pickup for when i get in (that is what you meant isnt it??

)look forward to Philipa's views on it, might say what she really thinks if you get her out of the bed too early on a sat morning!

Tco, thanks friend, your so right about the wind..and thats not after the curry sort of wind either

I hand hold for mostly all my shots, and on this one i thought my lungs were going to burst, having to hold your breath for so long trying to keep focus, and grab that second when the breeze dies down can be a bit frustrating at times, but the challenge always keeps me going! and i thought photography was a healthy hobby!

Maureen many thanks, always look forward to your comments and feedback.
