At last, compound eyes!

Damn that's good!

My only niggle is I'd prefer to see a little more space to the left rather than have the fly right in the middle of the frame

 

[alfiejones]

Excellent shot. Frame it.

 

[Manxmaid]

Wonderful detail and colours!

Thanks for the replies, I don't think my wife would let me put that up on the wall!

Paul, you're quite correct, it could have been better framed, I wouldn't have framed a bird shot like that. I just got too excited about the eyes!

I like the flys eyes good BG aslo it's just that the plant is blown lets it down slightly.

Yes, it's the flash. Would a ringflash still do that?

Nice capture .......... seems a fair bit of noise though .... can you run it through some noise reduction software?

 

[NWgaz]

nice shot ;o)

Laurence that is an amazing shot even though I don't like bugs that is good.

Thanks people. It does look a little noisy, personally I think I applied too much sharpening detail.

If I try to apply further NR then I'm worried I'd lose detail in the eyes. I'll have a bash though later.

A nice pose Laurence

Nice shot Laurence it's a slippery slope once you start capturing eye detail though.

Might I ask if you are using any form of diffusion btw as the light looks harsh.

Thats amazing, iv never really payed much attention to bugs but that looks awesome

Thanks, Lumiquest diffuser on a 430 EX. It does look a bit harsh I agree.
