Robber fly

[Guppy]

Hi

Not much longer they fly,
due to the weather (Europe) is grounding.
Some flies I stacked this year,
especially to see the heads of the small species in the picture,
it was beautiful and interesting for me.

A beautiful portrait.

I very much like this image. The black background works well, and even the darker hairs maintain good delineation against it. Plain but with subtle coloration, stark, superbly detailed, and yes, "beautiful and interesting". Well done!

Hi

Thank you for your friendly comments.

Leonard
You describe very aptly what I pay particular attention to.

I agree. Very well done. I would probably get halo artifacts with something like this.
