I can really respect the difficulty of this capture, Roger. And nice color, too!

Roger, nice capture, well framed. Cheers, John

Many thanks for all your comments. Although shooting digital has advantages over film for this type of picture (instant feedback and "electrons are cheap"), I was surprised how quickly I achieved the desired effect - it helps that the hoverflies live up to their name and remain stationary for long (comparatively) periods.

Regards, Roger

Getting the insect and the flower in focus and having the background blurred is amazing! Did the anti-shake help? Super shot! - Jean Ricket
