Bug on blossom

Not really sure what type of insect this is, could be some type of hover fly? Hand held with DFA 100 1/2.8 Macro lens

Hi Jim,
I really liked your macro. Especiallly as for color rendering and luminance. Nevertheless I’d opt for a higher f-stop (10 to13) ... IMHO there is some little DOF issue on the foreground.

Thankyou all for your very generous comments.

I agree with you on the DOF issue Nuri, ideally I would have used a narrower aperture, but it was a spur of the moment shot, so I am stuck with the OOF foreground for better or worse.
