Taken as part of a “extension tube experiment”, Shot in the prone position with a Nikon 50mm and a ridiculously large stack of extension tubes (unfortunately I can't remember how many!).

Congratulations to you, Eric! :) #485434Nancy Grace Chen April 15, 2004
Incredible capture. I don't know how I missed it going through the finalists! (I guess I thought it was a blurry flower shot from the thumbnail.) The DOF is perfect for making the fly just pop out of the picture. BIG congrats on your winner!!

Eric, I'm intimately aware of how small these hover flies are! I have some shots myself. I always think, "If only people truly knew!" I missed this. It's great! Love the color! My hover flies were around a rather bland flowering tree. :-)Karma #1411978
