Glittering Wings

Playing around with macro at Barnsdale gardens today. I wasn't going to post another hoverfly shot but I surprised myself with how well this one came out. The flower is an artichoke.

@lovingandsharing I would like to say it was skill but focusing in macro is tricky especially hand held!

[kay]

@rjb71 yes that's some thing I find hard holding my hands still when I take the shot. I find it hard to as I don't have a eye piece on my camera , just the screen to look thro.

[Graeme Stevens]

superb shot, focus and clarity...now where did I put the fly spray...

[Richard Brown]

@lovingandsharing I can see that would make it even more challenging :)
