Caught this dung fly on the seed head of a poppy in the garden this morning. I had another angle, but I can't get decent results from the edit, so you'll have to make do with this view! Natural light, extension tubes used. The observant will also see a second creature...

Quote: more golden
I would agree with you Ade - and I considered using some fill-in flash to lift the colour, but without good light they do look kinda brown and drab. I am guilty of adding saturation on occasions (as I am sure many of us are) but I opted to leave this as accurate as I, and the camera, saw it at the time. As you rightly say - making it more golden would look fine too. Thanks for the input, it's always appreciated and noted for reference.
Paul.
