I love this photo especially because you make a simple fly look good, which can be a little hard to do sometimes with common animals and insects. Posted 11 years ago

Very nice lighting, is that true to the shot or was the light added after the shot? Posted 11 years ago

  It is a bit a combination of both. The background lighting is real, yet the rays are exaggerated. Posted 11 years ago
