Fly

I spotted this fly that appeared to be stuck in a bucket of water this morning (already there, no flies were hurt in the making of this photo), and I thought it would be a good subject for a macro shot. You can see the front two sets of legs on the water surface, but the back leg has broken through the water tension. Along with a big water drop on it’s back, maybe that is why it was stuck. If you zoom in you can see the texture on it’s eyes, which I find fascinating.

After taking a few shots I lifted it out to the edge of the bucket and a while later it flew off.
Great capture

Nice detail. Hope to get some hints on focus stacking. I need to find some already there insects to practice:-)

@debgasc Yes, I used in camera focus stacking.
