An irritating fly homing in on its target; the eye of an impala ewe in the Kruger National Park.

Wow, what a great shot! I see in the comments here that you said it was just dumb luck and the credit should go to the fly. It was serendipitous moment, but you had the camera focused and ready to snap! Perfect! 🙂

You captured some great composition and frustration in the same photo. An unlikely combination but I feel it.
Just dumb luck, but I’ll gladly accept your kind comment, thanks Lyle!
Whoa! As if capturing a picture of the eye of an Impala wasn’t great enough, you have a fantastic one of a fly buzzing around close to its eye! That is some shot 🙂
You’re very kind, thank you Nirmal!

Thanks very much Janet!
I hope it missed 🙂
I wish I had better news for you Paula 😉
Sjoe dit was nou fyn gekorrel! Daardie vlieë is peste vir die oë van die diere! Jy ‘spy’ nie net die ‘eye’ nie maar die vlieg ‘spy’ ook n ‘eye’.
Dit moet n vreeslike irritasie wees, en dan’t hulle nie eers hande om die goed mee te klap nie!
Beslis, dis veral erg as mens dink van die vlieë wil hul eiers in die oog lê.
GRILLERIGE GEDAGTE!
How is that even possible!? ☺ Perfect!
It helps being in the right place at the right time Maciek!
You are as fast on the posting button after a theme is announced as you are on the shutter one!
Lovely shot.
Thanks Colonialist! Luckily this photo immediately came to mind when I saw the challenge theme.
