Bubble blowing Fly...

[coopers]

Spent a few hours this afternoon between the showers seeing what I could photograph in my garden.
Caught this chap on my Buddleia bush blowing bubbles,was a bit disappointed to catch the flash in the bubble but decided to leave in in rather that try to clone it out...

Beautiful image, I have never seen a bubble blowing fly in the wild.

Just saw this on Flickr. Stunning. Love the complimentary tones of the eyes and bubble.

great stuff

excellent. No need to clone out the reflected flash as far as I'm concerned.

Very nice... I'd leave the flash in as well!

Thanks for the replies,seems like I made the right decision leaving the flash in....

Very nice indeed ... lovely crisp shot

Great capture. I agree with leaving the flash in the bubble. Gives a bit more shape to it rather than a brown blob.

I've seen a few pictures on bubble blowing flies on here but never seen it in person. Too many spiders in my garden to get a decent shot of flies.

Keep it coming
