A detail of the flower and the fly. I tried an other cropp to make it different.

As every expert sees right away it is a Drone Fly! "You can see all the relevant details quite clearly : only two wings, very big eyes meeting at the top of the head, no jaws, very short antennae. This is a Drone Fly, Eristalis tenax, male. You can even see the two lines of dark hair that cross the eyes vertically - typical of E. tenax". (They told me too! :0)

Hi Hendrik!

Une macro extraordinaire! J'ai moi-même essayé d'attraper une abeille, et j'avoue que je ne l'ai réussie que par chance! Celle-ci est fabuleuse! Les couleurs sont radieuses, très vives! L'abeille se mélange parfaitement, comme si elle était un élément à part entière!
Ton cadrage est intéressant, il change de la prise de vue habituelle!

Bravo!

Luci

¦wietna kompozycja, by³oby lepiej gdyby bylo ostrzej, ale i tak mi siê bardzo podoba :)

Hello Hendrik, I have to tell you this is a nice macro of the bee. I am impressed with the clarity of the wings, a part of a bee that is difficult to catch. Nice photo.....:o)

HI Hendrik, getting better and better and better still. I love the yellow colours and the hoverfly is so nice and sharp. Very, very well shown. TFS...

Hello Hendrik
Nice detail of the flower and fly, How do you know it's a male, it could be a female you never no! i really like the way you have captured it, when i was taking a photo of a bee it was quiet hard, the flower is very pretty.
good job
Monika
