 Shot this during the August flowers side challenge. I found this little fly hanging out in this day lily and decided to get a few shots if it... I didn't notice the fly snacking on the aphid/ bug thingy until after i started editing...

Editing: Selective colors, noise ninja, crop, save for web, sharpen post resize, adjust colors using selective colors, minor dodge and burn on the bugs to increase definition.

Not a personal fan of bugs or flies, but this is great, and I love the orange.

Great shot, DPC will love this! I wish I could work out how to get this close to flies without them leaving, unless I train them or kill them...
