Info A simple fly, in the style of our talented photographer... well, you know who. This is a female flesh-fly, probably a Sarcophaga sp. (the females of these family are not normally identifiable from a photograph). Notice the hairy arista (the bristle-like branches of the antennae), the long legs and the red eyes.

Comment maybe you could identify this one of mine that's been in the unidentified category for a year or so :) Mfield20:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral It's wonderfully composed, but it seems to lack sharpness required for this type of shot. Maybe because it was shot at f/16? -- Ram-Man02:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support I strongly disagree that focus bracketing should be required. My only concern was that in my eyes it didn't look the proper sharpness at my 2MP viewing standard. Diffraction should be invisible at that magnification, but perhaps it was over-sharpened or just blurry to start with? In any case, I stared at it for a while and realized that it looks fine at normal viewing distances and magnifications. Borderline for me, but on the right side. -- Ram-Man22:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No way, I don't want to turn myself into a studio freak! If this picture is viewed from the correct distance, or printed with a 300 dpi resolution, then no blur will be apparent. -- Alvesgaspar19:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Ordinary subject, nothing special, no wow. On a positive note, it is quite well done technically. Unfortunately, aesthetically and compositionally it is not that much above average. Crapload05:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
