TRAPPED !!!

This pretty blue fly was trapped in the small mesh fencing of part of the tiger exhibit at our zoo (Houston). It must be a blue bottle fly, but it's not shiny...might just be the lighting. But, I love the matte blue color he is sporting.
You know you are a photographer, when you are taking photos of tigers and notice a fly stuck in the mesh!
:biggrin:

Very interesting image. I like the color, the repeating patterns and the fly adds a point of interest. The only thing I would like to see is the fly moved a little to the right to move it out of the center line of the image.
