[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have thought of many titles for this posting. But I settled on beauty and the beast. The reference for beauty is for the red zinnia and beast is for the pesky dipteran fly. Taken on a cloudy day from a year ago in my garden. Handheld, uncropped, and there was not much pp work involved save for contrast and sharpening adjustments.

HI Danilo
The fly is so sharp it looks almost as if it was floating.
That is quite a capture and the name fits well.

Hello Danilo,

An amazing close-up of this fly.
The details of its folding wings to its hairy legs are very well captured.
Well positioned in frame.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Teresat

hi Danilo
your back to your best i see the details are ist class as is the colours very well done regards bryan

Wow, good detail on the ugly fly - looks like it's wearing a fur cape or something:) and it almost looks as though it's levitating above the flower. Very vibrant background, but nice focus on the fly.

Ola Danilo

Really striking! That red is exquisite and the sharp details of the insect are a great combination. I always have a hard time with reds but you have managed quite well.

Hello Danilo,

Lovely contrasts. Good sharpness for a handheld shot - look at those details! Seems like the beast was just about to leave the beauty...:)

HI Danilo:
This is a very interesting closeup of the fly in sharp focus and the flower in a blur , giving a great accent on the fly.The colour theme is great with red green and the placement is classical rule of thirds... A brilliant photo again in your collection... thanks my friend...Roman:0)

hi Danilo

I have never seen a macro red like this and a fly so lucky to be in sharp focus and given more attention than the flower, and giving it the best color BG as bokeh to show off its sharp body.

Very good capture at 1/200s to get this effect.

I like it.

tfs, bill

Incredible shot Danilo! WOW. Your details are really sharp. This looks as though the flower is under glass, and the fly on top! Interesting look here, I love it!
