Animesh: 1st is excellent. 2nd is also good.
arian: nice shot.
nac: require sharpness and better exposure to really pop the subject.

Friends,
NOthing more to shoot these days, so sharing few fly shots made last month for your Critiques and feedback.

@Toofan - The second one is just amazing, the background looks a bit artificial though, I supposed you have post processed the image.

@nac I would suggest getting a colorful flower...my Photo guru says dont even try to get pic of white flower...its the most difficult color :)
Click to expand...

Very true, getting a white flower right is very difficult. Colourful flowers look very beautiful without much effort.
Also, it is better to get a flower from a plant. In these shots, the surface of the ground is also in focus, diluting the effect a bit. In a macro shot, everything except the subject should be out of focus

Take a look at these (my own shots)

Thanks for the comment. I'll sure work on those things when I click next time.

Arian,
Wiiiide shot...

Sujoy,
Last black and white bird looks cute...

Vimal,
These fly shots are sharper than the butterflies. May be the structure... I am not sure.

mastervk Thanks

your 1st moon shot is overexposed...just darken it a bit with any PP software...it will look much better.
2nd shot is perfect...I see no problem


A happy Happy face of my dog ...Tuffy :)

@mastervk ok here is the edit pic...I used ur 2nd pic for this...applied sharpness, contrast and reduced brightness

@Sujoyp- Your first bird shot and centre bird shot (3rd pic) are awesome :)

Also I didn't know pics of moon can be snapped so clearly with a digiCam? :shock: At first when I saw these pics of moon, I thought they were taken by telescope :)) lol
