Cool Sinister fly ....

I normally try to get the focus on the head of the subject. This time I was lucky the fly faced its back. Got the creepy details of its back... I love this shot.

This is a really great shot! I also enjoy taking shots of insects from different angles when the insect allows. Sometimes we're lucky. The detail is very good..the little hairs and I especially like the wings.

i'm laughing -- i like it a lot -- because we recently drove 90 minutes one way to where dragonflys are common to have the best shot of the day being one similar to yours!

Hey thanks guys !

I always like to shot insect ... it is fasinating to see them in an enlarge view. You get to see their detail body design, which we normally are unaware of.

Cheers
