Incredible fly but the real kudos go to setting up the background to make the photo as stunning a piece of artwork as the fly.

[letumgo]

Thanks. The background is a piece of mole skin ( black part) and the pillow on my sons bed. His room gets the sunlight in the morning, so I took my vice and camera over there for the photo. I kept moving the background around to get better lighting and this shot was the one I liked. Glad you like it.

Ray, Howdy;

Great looking fly.. superlativs don't go into the relm in which your skills dwell...

The photo reminds me of some photos I've seen of various fighter aircraft breaking the sound barrier.
