Fly on the Hydrangea..

This morning it was very still outside ( no wind) and not to much bright sunshine, so I put my extension tube onto my 50mm lens and went for a wander around the garden .. I spotted this fly on the hydranga flowers .. and it kept still enough for a few seconds so that I could get a half decent shot in ...

Excellent shot - and that is with an extension tube? I'm impressed at the clarity and detail you have achieved

@seacreature Think it is the first time I have had success with something that moves..
