That is very cool shot, and he had some patience in waiting for you to setpu the shot I guess...

But.... Whos this bugger now?? :lol:

Thanks for your comments guys

Yi-P, no desat treatment - this is the straight shot from camera with a slight crop - the fly is sitting on an old palm tree, so that is the colour of the wood, and with the shallow dof, gives that nice grey background

And the shallow dof meant that the top of the fly is in focus, with the legs going out of focus ... so only PS was slight curves adjustment, and a touch of burn on the eyes

As for setting up - these flies sit on our palm tree, so I just follow them around and take hand held shots

Thanks again
Rel
