Wow, kinda looks like a fly modeled after the Terminator ......looks part machine but very cool, great capture!

Thanks! She does have that nice metallic glow about her, and with the red eyes, well...!

Wow very cool. Can you add this to my project "Water Drops".

Thanks! I did! Thank you, again!

Platinum

Thank you!

Ultimate

Super Capture and macro !

Thank you for the very kind comment!

Nice close up. Never seen a pregnant fly. Good DOF.

Thank you! I had never noticed pregnant flies before, either. And that DOF is all about being parallel to the subject. The term I often use for describing DOF at this level is "width of a flies eye", and that about covers it, as you can almost measure here!

Klasse!
