And do you really think that 20 x zoom would improve this Terry? :) Excellent work, good colour and superb detail. Maybe just maybe you were trying to get too close, hence the loss of focus. TFS,
David

HI Terry
I am not a lover of insects nor anything that crawls so perhaps not too qualified to critique this fly.
But I do find that this is an awesome macro shot with great details, especially the luster.
