Good set of shots, if I may offer critique:

1 - not the best vantage spot for a fly. Nice greenbottle though (a type of blowfly).

2 - Good focus, and did well with glare too, since most ladybirds have quite a shiny shell that makes it difficult to light. Perhaps 1/2 a stop underexposed and a bit too much contrast for my personal liking. Good shot nevertheless.

3 - Lovely skipper, a fraction underexposed according to my monitor setup, and a bit too tightly cropped/composed. Again, a touch too much contrast, at least via my calibrated monitor. You've done well though, skippers are such wonderful Butterflies!

4 - Ahh fly p0rn! Very well done. These types of flies are quite tiny, you've done very well to parallel them and keep them both within the focus zone. I like.

It's a pity I missed the BIMBO meetup :/

Cheers,

Dave
