This is an old shot I'm reworking for print but thought I would share a version of it here. We have a robust stand of Calla lilies in our garden and while I was shooting them one morning this little hover fly decided to crash the party. I was set up with this comp just for the flower. I got this shot and one other before he took off for parts unknown. One of the best strokes of luck in my photographic life. All comments welcome. >=))>

Hard to image a better pose and position on the flower - looks great.
