Artist's Comments

The story behind this wild scene is quite interesting:
While looking for a model, I found this green little
Bottle fly standing quietly in front of a nice background.
I put my camera on a tripod, set aperture value, shutter speed, ISO
and a second before pressing the shutter release he was gone.
Well, this kind of thing happen to me from time to time when
I shoot macro, but this time it was different. I took my eye out of the
viewfinder and looked over the camera to see where he is and found out that
he was just HUNTED! a beautiful hungry robberfly turned him into his
breakfast, 3 CM away on the same stick.
This is what you see in this one.

Lens: Tamron 180mm macro + 36 mm Ex. Tubes.

Rgds, allon.

I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

If we light a candle a shadow appears. The more we strive for light the bigger shadow will grow behind us.
