Congratulations for this beautiful shot, it takes a very good technique to achieve this, the dew brings a lot to the composition, the focus is perfect, great job!

First I have to say that I'm humble and proud that you liked my picture. It's really inspiring. Thank you so much for this honor :-) I also have to say that you have a magnificent web-site, a great source of inspiration. My name is Audun Wigen, and I live in Norway. I shot this photo just outside my bedroom window. I spotted this fly when I was out for the morning newspaper. It was sitting on this small white flower, covered with moist, not able to fly. Two hours after I shot this picture I went outside to look for the fly again. It was sitting on the same flower, still not able to fly. I used Canon 5d MK-II with MP-E 65mm. I used a ring-flash on the lens, and a 580ex flash mounted on a home-made bracket to give light from above. A home made difusser (made from an ice-box) was mounted on the 580 flash. My native language is norwegian, so my home page is not in english - sorry. But I'm working on a english version, so check back in a couple of days :-)
