your happiness is reflected in me

~this fly was obviously a bit doped up on the yellow happiness - it was sitting on this same flower for at least 2 hours~

~taken using lensbaby pro with sweet 35 optic and macro converters~

~I had to play around with the exposure in photoshop because I didn't even think about that aspect hahahahaha~

[Brendan Maunder]

Love the title

[Sam]

Goodness me, this is good, good, good. Not the damn blur I usually see when looking at lensbaby shots. FAV FAV FAV

[Annie D]

@gigiflower thank you so much Sam - thrilled you like it

[Annie D]

@agima thank you so much - I am amazed my frizzled brain could function today

[Paula W]

I like the yellow splashes on his back which really complement the flower.

[Suse♡]

Great contrast, that yellow comes very strong

[Annie D]

@paulaw @susale thank you so much - it was all a bit of trial and error

[Brendan Maunder]

@annied it did well

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent shot lady

[Joan Robillard]

Nice bug.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Lovely against the black background

[Taffy]

Very dramatic!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Black and yellow --so dramatic

[Annie D]

@graemestevens thank you so much man

[Annie D]

@joansmor @shepherdmanswife @taffy thank you so much for the kind words - I am having fun playing around with the lenses - I may even learn something lol

[Kitti Nelson]

Lovely capture and the sweet spot is so beautifully centred - the tips of the petals seem to almost quiver.

[Annie D]

@kittikat thank you so much - it takes some practice - especially when my eyes are not the best hahaha

[tingliu]

wonderful

[Denise fuller]

super macro

[Bill Fenske]

@gigiflower I'm with Sam on this one Annie. I generally despise lensbaby blurred images, this one has no more blur than some macros and close ups.

[Annie D]

@bill_fe thanks Bill - I am having fun playing around

[Kathie]

Love the colours against the dark background. Very effective. Possession is 9/10ths of the law.

[Derek Vickers]

Great detail Annie. Well captured.

[Babs]

Brilliant shot, no wonder it sat there for 2 hours, it is bloody freezing here at the moment.

[Annie D]

@onewing it is horrible here today too Babs

[Annie D]

@kathiecb hahahaha yes I think you are right - he was possessing it

[Annie D]

@liuting @denisefuller thank you so much
@derekvickers thanks Derek - playing around - wish my vision was better so focusing was easier

[Bankmann]

:-) Fav! Great Lensbaby + converter work!
