3 August - Greenfly on white flower

What a miserable day - grey & drizzling & windy! Couldn't be bothered
to pick up the camera apart from this one shot of a quick moving
greenfly on a flower! So it's OOF! But at least it's B&W! ;o)

Nicely composed. The petals seem to be almost pushing the insect upwards from this perspective with the shallow DoF.

I like it! Great macro for running out in the rain for a few secs!

Like Phillip said, head and eyes are in focus...so just a very narrow depth of field :o)
