These tiny flies (aprox 3mm high) are super fast, had been trying unsucessfully to capture one for a long time. Got lucky and found one that was quite willing to stay put for 10 seconds,love the neon colours of this species. i think im very lucky to have caught the macro photography bug, living in Australia there are insects everywhere.

Nicely done, how did you get the fly to pose for you and say cheese?

I have photographed dragonfly's and can attest to how hard this shot can be. Amazing!

The main subject could stand to be a little more sharp
