Nice sharp macro Linda - interesting composition too. Maybe a reflector or something underneath just to get a little more light on the bottom of the fly. Trouble is a fly being a fly it'll be long gone before you can really do that... And they're not easy to 'stick' into place..
I must try me a few of these insect macros.
Cheers

Well well well my friend Linda,

Think of Einstein's theory of relativity in mind and imagine an atom. A molecule is bigger then an atom; molecules makes cells which are larger; cells forms tissues which are grand; tissue makes limbs and limbs form human and human thiks this world is such a large plannet whereas in the galaxy we our plannet is just like a molecule of water in the Atlantic ocean.

A beautiful shot my friend, which is of course provoking mind and thinking. Excellent composition. Well done. Many thanks for sharing this image.

Isn't it strange and beautiful sometimes, how our perception of things changes with age? For instance, when being a child everything seems so huge (buildings, cars, objects, etc.), and after years pass we visit places we haven't seen since childhood and everything seems to be so much smaller and at a different scale?
Really great job Linda, wonderfully seen, composed and colored macro! :)
Congrats and best regards,
Diana

Hi Linda,
Beautiful close-up with very nice colors. The vertical positioning of the plant(?) is interesting. Lovely blurred background as well.

Making this nicer is your great note. Thank you for complementing the shot with those wonderful words. very thoughtful indeed.

Regards,
Ramdan.

Hi Linda
The blue tail fly and the quality of the capture is a given. Like the side lighting that is lighting up his left wing. As well as you POV and composition.
I'm also curious about what he is sitting on. That is a very interesting "something" with great colors and texture.

So, a number of things going on here.
The macro and the perspective it implies are both well done and fun and interesting to ponder.
The technical aspects of the shot are all on the money.
The note is a wonderful addendum to the image and the song is one of those that always makes me wish, and be filled with wonder/envy of those who can, to have the ability to put thoughts into words. :)
Good work all around,
Thanks,
Wilt
