- I want to thank the judge for appreciating my photography and choosing my photo. My name is Raed Ammari and Macro photography is my passion, I live in Denver- Colorado USA. This photo was taken with a Nikon D5100 and a reversed kit lens (18-55mm). I use a home made flash diffuser close to the subject. I took this picture on a sunday morning when I saw this fly warming its wings on a yellow leaf. I had the chance to take 6 images before it flew away. I stacked the images in Adobe CS6. This is so exciting to me as it's the 1st photography prize I win. Thank you again

- A very nice picture with good depth of field. The sharpness is very good, the dewdrops bring more to the composition, my only regret is to have clipped the wings and antennae! Nice work.
