Hover Fly

A happy snap from the garden.
It's the first time I've managed to capture detail of the eyes.:D
Canon 20d, Tamron 90mm lens.

Nice one Nettie! You captured the eyes well.

When did you get the macro lens?

Cheers,
Stephen

I bought it off Astroturf (Bryan) about 3 weeks ago.
It's lovely!

A lovely photo JJJ – no flash, just daylight I’m guessing, from the narrow depth of focus? Great detail in the eyes!

Cheers

That's right Dennis, just daylight and set on auto. Lazy eh?
Still, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

How did I miss this? Wonderful shot, JJJ. Focus on the eyes and you'll have a winner every time. :) Well done.
