You continue to amaze with your beautiful insect shots. Excellent clarity, clors and compositon here. This is very very good Andy.

Great shot. Colors are very crisp. Sharp subject and good DOF. No "bugs" with this picture.

I keep my Epi kit handy now when viewing your superb macro photos! Now I will have to get my kleenex from sneezing from the pollen! This is just fantastic. Perfect focus of fly AND interior of flower. A rare combination in this medium.

Amazing Macro Andy, I think i'm going to return my S5000 for a S7000..Superb Details and contrast..At what distance did you take this shot and did you use the zoom Andy?

Wow!
Lovely from A-Z!
+ great details!

This is an amazing shot once again Andy, you have really captured this hoverfly very well, and what intrigues me the most, is the incredible detail, it would seem he is busy holding one of the stamens of this plant with his two front legs.
A wonderful macro, with all the beauty and fascination of nature so aptly captured.
My compliments to you Andy, keep it up.

I cannot believe I missed this superb photo before, Andy. Shame on me. Pretty much everything has already been said... I'm attracted to this macro shot because of the sharpness and amazing DoF. TFS, TFS².

Après avoir vu pareil photo, je vais cacher les miennes dans un tirroir et retourner faire mes devoirs.
Magnifique macro Andy. Très belle netteté, couleurs superbes, très bien composé. Bravo.
