I almost didn't enter this, I didn't think it was National Geographic worthy. Happy with the score!

Well done Karen. Superb work. That 100mm Canon f/2.8 is legendary. Roz has one too and I almost commented this was one of hers.

Sharp where it needs to be sharp. Soft where it needs to be soft.

Well done.



I may or may not be voting, so please do not equate my comment with any score.

Classy image, for a fly :) You have a got one superb eye, and the patience. Everything here seems just right to me. Perfect exposure and composition. Sharp eye, iridescent body, sharp hairs, smooooooth background and a few very very tiny flowers to complete the picture. Submit to them now!
