This technicolour fly was near our hotel on Keffalonia, Greece last year. Could you even contemplate swatting this?!

AWESOME!! Man, that things got enough meat on it's bones to feed 4!! 8~O

Superb capture with superior colorations!! A wee light on the outter portions, but, I understand...you don't wanna lose detail on the subject. Fantastic flyin' critter!!

Swattin' this ugly booger would take at least a size 16 shoe!! *~Q

Could I swat that? In a New York minute. I hate flys. But your beautifiul capture of same almost changes my mind. My gosh, how big is that thing? Great photographic work.

Beautiful, gorgeous colours. If it's a bee no swat if it's a fly well maybe. Great photo by the way :)

Superb close-up and the overall background in the image makes it a standout in any size icluding the thumbnail. Excellent focus in this one, I mean EXCELLENT ... and YES I could swat it ... but not before I put it in my favorites. Great work here Steve.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

Looks like a new movie: Batman vs. The Fly. Great shot of an awesome fly.

Wow! This is awesome! The thing I love most about this photo is the lovely detail on its wings. That's just amazing! I've never seen such clarity on wings and such gorgeous detail. As you can tell, I'm hung up on those. ^_^ Outstanding work.
