Well I am rather new to TPF but I'd love some advice/tips on my photo

What do you think??

The first thing i noticed is that the tip of the wing is cut out of the frame. If that wing were int there it would be pretty good.

omg you know i have looked at this photo a million times and NEVER noticed that!!! Thank you!! It always helps to have another pair of eyes look at your photos

Except for the wing clip, i like the photo! Nice shadow coming off the fly! TFS

I'm not a macro guy. If you want to start shooting macros, I would try and get closer (obviously) and have some eye contact to the viewer, I guess in this case it would be many eyes!

mike,

i'm not sure what you mean by "eye contact to the viewer"... do you mean it should be looking into the bugs eyes? i suppose that would have made a nice shot as well, i didn't think of that!

also, i couldn't get in any closer unfortunately, as this was shot with a point & shoot! lol i don't have a macro lens quite yet since i'm just starting out! so my attempts at macro photography are all done with the "macro" feature on a p&s... sad, i know

thanks for your tips!
