Plenty of things that can be improved but I quite liked the orientation of the Hoverfly here. I made this photo in the morning today.

My kind of insect image, Ram. Love the way the HF is very sharp against the otherwise soft and dreamy flower. Very artistic. Nice light and comp, and a great look at the HF. :toast:

Like the dragonfly, I've seen the hoverfly before in this classic tail-up pose as well, cool :cool:
The techs look great, nice detail subject in this pleasant, soft setting :toast:
