This image is simple and shows how tiny things can seem bigger and and beautiful than they usually appear to us. This fly is shown in an epic pose, ready to take off. In reality, he is dead and just happened to stay in this position after he passed away. The computer cord in the background adds a subtle break in the picture plane and gives in a soft middle ground. The colors are very soft and the strong contrast makes this fly come to life (so to speak).

Having been present when you took this photo, it is so interesting to see how that ugly little fly on the table can come to life due to some cropping and dynamic positioning.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the composition of this image, and the subject is very interesting- considering we don't often get this close of a look at a fly. I like thinking that the fly is alive though, and I wish I hadn't read that he was dead.
