Hoverfly on Majoram

I took a picture of this hoverfly on a Majoram plant. My dad told me to put the flash up to freeze the action so I did.
This is my result:

What do you think:

I think that this is a very good picture1

Sharp where it needs to be, with good out-of-focus areas to balance & project the hoverfly forward.

How would it look, do you think, with some cropped off the left, to leave an almost square image?

Roger.

I think it would look better if it were rotated left to portrait orientation and then an inch cropped of the right hand side.

A great shot - may we please know the lens used?

After much crane-ing of the head, I think Snappies on to something.

Nice sharp capture. Really good stuff.

Your dad did you proud, just shows dads are always right.
Well done nice clear shot

Got to agree with mr snappy
great capture

Sam used his Tamron 70-300 zoom for this shot, hand held and if i know him in macro mode.
