A dull day with a small fly and I was too far away by half.

" ... and I was too far away by half."

That depends.

You thought you were, suggesting that a different outcome was intended. However, for those of us who didn't have an intended outcome and are content to see the fly in its environment, this works fine. We see the details on the fly and we see that he hangs out on a leaf - job done.

It's a pity about that light patch in the lower part of the background.

Until I read your comment I didn't even notice it. Tomorrow I may have to do something about it

Excellent outcome,whatever might have been your intention

I was hoping for a little more eye detail.

A nice sharp image Brian - a benefit of not being too close! I suppose a small fly is small fry compared to some of the monster insects that you usually encounter

JBW its a nice and very sharp capture. I love your image a lot... I also do have interest on it but I am still learning to become more professional..

thank you. We all have lots to learn.

[Shadowman]

Nice shot.

[JBW]

Nice shot.

perhaps nicer with the new version?

[JBW]

It took me a few tries and a few days to come up with the new and hopefully improved version. I'm particularly pleased with the wings

[Donald]

"perhaps nicer with the new version?

Yep, I think so. Well done.

[JBW]

Yep, I think so. Well done.

I tried to keep the context.

I like the new crop and wings, but we lost a little detail (due to lower brightness) of the eye and body parts.

true enough. I might be able to work on that
