very nice andy the thistle is a little over exposed, but it is very difficult with such a dark subject to get spot on, and there is no total white outs so its only a very minnor nit especially when the rest is so well seen, Good DOF for the subjects all sharp against the blurred BG.

Andy, Good sharpness & detail. As Robert mentioned a bit overexposed. Just learning myself but I believe the trick is knowing when to manually set your EV and override the cameras auto setting. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I understand you bump up the value of whatever the camera reads under these conditions?? Say +1 ? Also PDP (next page) consistently uses a Hoya filter that seems to help alot with the "blues".

Nice work Andy, I appreciate how hard these beasts are to ID. Lovely detailed shot, especailly the wings. Very good work and good note.

Very good one, Andy. The diagonal appearance of the thistle makes for a nice compositional device, and the hoverfly on top of it is captured in wonderful detail and sharpness. I particularly like the texture of the wings, and the beauty of the overall color setting. Really nice shot.

Andy
Nice compo on this fly, also his lilac perch forms a lovely contrast with his yellow-brown body.

Very good close up, Andy. The details are very sharp, especially on the transparent wings. I like it. Well done.
