Looks like a hoverfly, but I'll certainly defer to Wayne on the ID. Very nice capture. I like the way it contrasts against the sea of green. Very sharp subject as well.

Nicely captured Dan, the colors of the background and the leaf are very nice and nice detail on the fly. I'm not sure if it's my monitor but the inside of the leaf looks a bit bright to me especially on what looks like the central ridge.

Very nice comp, Dan! I love the green-on-green. The fly looks a bit oversharpened to me. :toast:
