Whoah! Fantastic detail on the eyes! The detail and color are phenomenal. The dof brings everything into place. Great job.

Thanks Helen, yes i have taken many shots of this fly but none with the reflections in its eyes like this one. The angle of the fly and sun were perfect.I only got three shots before it flew away and this was the only shot that had the eyes in focus.

This has to be one of the most amazing looking insects I've ever seen, luckily not in person! It almost looks like something out of an old sci-fi movie. Excellent capture! Helen
