Hey Katherine, this is really good - I can quite see why it is your Hidden Gem. The colours are so vivid. I love the way the fly's little front legs are hugging one of the petals!

Nice close-up but the flower petals look a bit blown and the colors a bit over saturated.

the red and pink are a bit overcooked in this shot I'm afraid, it leaps out at me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:43:19 PM
good colours...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:02:28 AM
Wow, vibrant colours! Maybe too saturated for some people. A cool looking fly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:35:46 AM
Nice colors and details. While I think the reds might be over saturated a little, I think it works for this photo - the fly really stands out against the red and I like how the center of the flower almost glows.

Good framing. I wonder if he was placed within the scene?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:35:56 AM
Wow, I love that image. Too bad, that the focus was not 100% on the fly! But really well done!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:26:59 PM
Wow great macro! The colors are so vivid.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:08:10 PM
I like the strong colors ... which give kind-of-a-nuclear feeling to the image. The composition is dynomite. Focus is strong. But in the end ... I simply resonate with this. Are we seeing the world through Roz-colored glasses? Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks.
