Excellent image of an unusual fly - nice stacked detail and clean setting.

Hi

A super little shot of this elusive subject - I know just how difficult they are to capture (LOL)


All the best
Matthew

A superb image of something I never knew we had living in our hedgerows Jon!  I shall never look at a bramble bush in quite the same way again...... :shock:
