p.1 #1 · Hoverflies in a poppy

Having had hardly any hoverflies in the garden so far this year, they finally put in an appearance on some ornamental poppies. All on EOS 40D with MPE-65 between 1 and 2x magnification. Tried using the larger 580EX flash with a smaller Stoffen diffuser on it, the home made "coke can" diffuser I have on the 430 flash seemed to disturb them too much. Comments welcome as always.

very nice, like #1 & 2 best, #1 looks a little dark on head but good light and detail.

Some great details in these, love the second shot. Sounds like it is here, very few hovers until the last few days.
