the picture is amazing. It's weird how a simple fly can become repugnant and almost scary.
Fantastic close-up!
Have a nice weekend
Oh, wonderful and full of details! *like
Greetings from Germany, Joana
You photo reminds me of the Beauty and the Beast. Fine macro shot.
WOW. That's nice macro and I agree with Kwarkito. The fly is scary.
Thank you for hosting.
oh, that's a great capture.
Ha, I found a few skeeters on me today and so it begins. Very pretty flower and a rather scary fly. Great close up.
...that looks like a might BIG fly!
Great macro shot!
Have a wonderful weekend!
This is fantastic!
The soft light and texture of the petals against the black fly!
Beautiful challenging image
kwarkito said it all... Could be worse, could mosquitoes. Great macro though
That's Great.
Have a nice weekend.
Never thought that a simple fly could look beautiful on the white flower !
Lovely macro
