Congrats on the Ribbon and PB Gabriel. Although I prefer the (older non VR) Nikon 105mm f/2.8 to the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 this is a triumph for Sigma's glass and the D80 (in the right hands!)
WOW .. truly amazing .. congrats on the red .. seems like ppl went a bit maudlin this week preferring life and death rather than just pure beauty .. like i said in voting .. this is absolutely extraordinary .. :)
A remarkable photo and my favorite of the bunch. I appreciate that the subject is the major element so that the flower portion does not intrude upon your composition.
Superb detail on this capture - how delicate the gossamer wings, the hairs, the bits of pollen and the patterns in the visible eye. The curlicues in the attractant flower are very nice too.
Unique hover-fly (I think). Lovely take. The eye just makes this shot. Great focus and pollen on the hairs. Really superb and should ribbon based on the other shots I've seen so far. Good luck.
absolutely extraordinary .. this is the most amazing and brilliant shot .. i've never seen a bee with an eye like that .. or is it a fly .. ?
it might be a type of bee fly .. they act like bees but they're actually a fly ..
anyway .. i'm just having a quick look thru this challenge and this is the stand out for me .. :) not voting .. :)
