For Earnest

Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 28 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This juvenile horsefly photo came out so well that Barry exclaimed, "Earnest is going to love this one!"

Taken at East End Park, Kingwood, TX.


Hope you enjoy this one, my friend!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

Eric, Barry is right! I truly appreciate the thought too. Surely this fly has no problem seeing, the detail is remarkable. It's worthy of the National Geographic. Thanks!

Anyway, superb macro ;)

@pierre: Hahaha...This is one of the more benign monsters we have here in Houston! These things love to pester my bald head when I'm out on a shoot. But I'd rather deal with these things than the chiggers that live in Earnest's woods...;)

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

Thank to everyone for all of the great compliments! Barry and I were out in a local nature area, and I had the chance to catch this photo while he was looking at something else. I was able to snap two frame before it flew away.

I heard everything is bigger in Texas, but this takes the cake. This guy looks like he's on steroids! He looks like he could pick up my Labrador Retriever and fly off with her (much to my wife's joy sometimes, I might add). This image is tack sharp. Excellent capture. Thanks for your kind compliments on my photoblog.
