Robber fly with breakfast.

Great shot, the composition is nicely balanced and the background sets the context. I would say it could do with being lightened a little to bring out some details but that's just my opinion. Good shot

Good shot. It's a little dark. Would you show me +1 in EV?

Nice macro, I get a certain sinister feel from the darkness of the subject along with its dinning habits. Well done.

That is a really scary-looking insect - I am glad I am much larger than it!

Excellent capture. I would hate to be the bug being eaten

Good job, we can see a bit more detail on the body of the fly. Well done

Thanks, I felt like I went down a rabbit hole with the software and got lost. it looks a bit grainy to me but makes it easier to see more of the robber fly :-)
