IMAGE: a syrphid?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Nature Photography Image Critique : One Thread



I think it might be a large syrphid, but I'm not at all sure....
I took this picture here in Israel, about a month ago.
Looking forward to receiving your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely yours,
Dima Fisher

A very unusual perspective. Not the usual top-view sort of identification shot used in field guides. A fine image, although it looks quite creepy (like something you'd see enlarged to 16x20 inches in a mad scientist's lab...)

I agree with Richard about the perspective. I think it's a very good shot.
