  • Thank you very much indeed for the first prize award. I am Yanuar Akbar amateur photographer from Jakarta Indonesia. This picture taken with Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 100mm F/2.8 Macro. processing only add a little contrast. taken in my own yard with many tries as this bee has flight pattern but it moved so fast.

  • Superb picture of this fly, sharpness is very good, the focus is impeccable. The fly is just a bit too centered and the green of the background may be a little flashy, but it's a great photo!
