for a brief moment this hover fly received his gold and then proceeded to land on my hand and buzz off.

The photo was taken in my garden, it has a pretty lucky story attached. I was taking a photo of the flower when as i took the shot the hover fly in question landed on it so i instantly took another shot.Time
It was early afternoon the sun was out and the hover flys were out in force, bigger types also appearing and guarding their territoryLighting
All natural lighting no flash nothing added and certainly no filters. I don'st use filters as i think it is cheating. The shot should be the shot not a shot with lots of manipulation.Equipment
handheld shot no tripod. Camera is a nikon coolpix l830Inspiration
The flower colour was what caught my eye.Editing
Nope....no need.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag lol. simplicity and shoot what i see that feels good.Feedback
Not really, just keep your eyes peeled for something that makes you want the picture to last forever.
