I know it might not fall into what people see as objects, but I didn't have time to shoot anything else. Flies are pretty common.

I liked the shot so I thought I'd share it. It's a live one too. lol

Couldn't edit out the orange thing on the lower right corner since it's open challenge rules. I don't know what it is, but it looks like he dropped his penis on the petal.

No cropping. Just played with Levels a bit. Sigma 105mm EX Macro lens.

Nice macro of a fly. I find it hard to get them to pose the way I want. Although I did find a couple willing to cooperate for the Macro challenge. 9

Excellent macro of a bee - I believe. Grat use of DoF. Centered composition works fine for this one.

Not sure it is the best representation of an "object," but it's a helluva macro. Very nice image!

Nice fly indeed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/28/2004 09:41:12 PM
This is one of the most amazing photographs I think I've ever seen!!! I just wish it fit the challenge more, because a fly isn't really an everyday object. I mean, maybe a fly is because you see it all the time. I don't know... I'm torn!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/28/2004 07:33:29 PM
Humm, I wonder who? Great shot. Beautiful composition, exposure, focus, DOF. Pristine.
The little orange thing is a bit distracting. Couldn't you ask the fly to kick it off?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/28/2004 06:29:28 PM
Looks like your fly left you a little gift! Nice photo. Clear and sharp

Great Macro shot! I'm planning on buying a Nikon D70 here real soon and when I do I'm also buying a macro lens as I love these types of photos. Great shot! 10
