Re: Rainbow Fly
The iridescent body has a nice glow, and you have the whole fly in focus. Looks great.

Re: Rainbow Fly
Very good Brian it's a fine image.
I had to have a play with this to see if there was more scope to enhance it. My interpretation, cropped it closer 3 x 2, locally increased sharpness/clarity on the head and body without touching the edges and cleaned out the imperfections on the leaf.

Re: Rainbow Fly
Ah, back to the bugs, Brian. This one seems so delicate and with great detail. I really like it. Being somewhat obsessive, I would have cloned out the poo ------- but here is real life, in the Raw!

Re: Rainbow Fly
Exactly. Historically this species of fly has been on my radar since the Fujifilm S4200. Then it was a strangely coloured fly that made me feel the need for greater detail. Now it's a beautiful fly that pushes me to develop the needed skills to capture it properly Originally Posted by Jim A
