Day 198 - Persistence

This photograph says more about me than anything else. It's not really that good, but I wanted a hovering hoverfly. So I went out again and shot and shot and shot until I got one, cos I'm persistent (read stubborn!).

[Simply Amanda]

I am persistent (read stubborn) myself. And I am faving you for that! It is pretty darn good, man!!

[Kev]

Wonderful blues and dof. You are right ... a hovering hoverfly is quite fun to look at. Love the wing movement and streamlined body.

[Marc]

Well done for persisting. It's sharp viewed large! A very nice shot - I like the minimalist background, and the leaf in focus on the left.
