Come closer if you dare by helenhall

Come closer if you dare

I saw the square challenge for September and have decided to give this a go and as my camera will not shoot 1:1 I will need to crop but other than that I will aim for SOOC too. Quite a tall order for me.

I am pleased with this start though. Out for a wander this morning before a 9 am appointment and as I was trying to shoot this hover fly on a flower, I found I was able to track his hovering and take him head on. So here you have him ...

Off to London for the remainder of the day which will be a change of scene. You have been so generous with your comments and feedback and I don't seem to be repaying the compliment. I will keep trying but my efforts are a bit random so if I haven't visited you lately, give me a shout out and point me in your direction.
What a great image!

Super capture. Read your reference to architecture...so you can tell me all about the buildings!

This is certainly the best image I have ever seen of a hover-fly doing what hover-flies do! Fav.
