The hoverflies have to weave in and out of the tall grasses to locate the chamomile daisies in this churchyard patch.

The centered comp works with the OOF seed heads framing the flower/subject Ian.
Good detail especially on that upper wing.
Tough shooting tiny bugs on flowers, especially when the flower's swaying in the breeze..
Well done

A fine "peek" at this flower and fly through the tall grasses, Ian. Including the grasses gives this a strong "being there" feeling. The larger version seems noisy, is this a large crop?
