    The fly is standing on an oregano branch and the bg is an oregano leaf. It is one great lens.

    Another superb image Brian. I remain intrigued and delighted by your slow shutter speed shots - the beasties that I typically encounter are twitchy, and shutter speed and ISO usually need quite a bit of a bump up to obtain anything reasonably sharp!

    Lovely shot, I am thinking it is one of the many Long Legged flies. On second thoughts it may be a midge.

    Great shot, and a perfect background. I wonder if it is some kind of marsh fly (Sciomyzidae). There are many types, but I have seen photos of a few species that look like this. It's definitely the fly. The vestigal wings you point out (halteres) are an indicator. Also the shape of the eye and the flat antennae.

    First-rate photograph! Excellent work. I agree with Dan that your specimen is a member of Sciomyzidae,

    I really don't enjoy the colour shift with my on camera flash. My Sony loses IQ quickly as I push up the ISO.

    My best option is to creep up very slowly and solidly brace myself and the tripod.

    In post processing I get the universal settings where I like them. Then I create a clone for specific areas that need attention. Export them all into ImageJ, combine them and do the final tweaking in Gimp.
