Hoverfly

My first post in the macro forum - I have posted a lot in uknp.

A hoverfly from my garden in London back in August.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Tamron 90mm Macro Lens
Tripod
F16
1/200s
ISO 400

By the way, the yellow spot shouldn't be there - it wasn't on the original!

Nice critter shot, Oscar. Great depth of field with clear focus on the eyes. Great background too! Welcome to the US forum. :smile:

I love the clarity here - and the contrasting softness of the background. The sharpness is excellent - and the details are beautiful... especially at larger size. Beautiful work, Oscar!
