Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Sensational! Macros of this calibre are tricky and very hard to come by. Print it at A3 at Birddogs on the 2100 and get it framed. What was your setup for the shot? Last edited by Matt. K on Mon Oct 25, 2004 10:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.

WOW! I have been experimenting with the 70-300G lens but the clarity of this is astounding. Exceptional photo.

Thanks guys.
Still learning. My setup is same as before: 
Sigma 105 EX + reversed Nikkor 50mm f1.4 + SB800 hand held. Would love to use tripod, but it's just not practical for flies. Glen - you are correct. Waiting,waiting,waiting... I found couple of spots where few flies seem to gather (a small rock in this case) & just wait for the right time. Have to move VERY slowly, be aware of the light,etc. Also the the flash (noise & light) seems to spook them. Especially built in flash in comander mode. Focus is hard too due to magnification - 2:1 You hvae to move back & forth - 1-2mm at the time! 
This picture was also cropped as the fly was very small. Would love to be able to take pictures like M.Plonsky one day...http://www.mplonsky.com/photo/index.htm
What do you call a fly with no wings ?
