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.

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’.
