I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
The photo Friday topic 'Extreme Closeup' was appropriate because I have just got a raynox dcr-250 supermacro lens.
This red eyed fly was sunning itself on a dead leaf and I was very impressed with the rainbow shimmer to its wings.
Flies are maybe not the most attractive subjects but I find them fascinating in extreme closeup.
I was really pleased to capture the facets of the compound eyes and its quite jolly grey and black striped torso like some kind of sport referee.

Cool pictures. I normally don't like flies because they're so annoying, but you're right, they're very pretty close up. I especially like it's wings.
I still don't know if I could call them beautiful, but you've done a wonderful job of capturing the iridescence.
The first photograph is beautiful, love the shimmering wings.
P.x
