Big black fly with red eyes - Photos and Sketches

This large black fly stands out against the background of a white flower, a spider lily. We usually imagine flies on garbage, but this one has better taste! This common rather large housefly, which generally has red eyes and four stripes behind the eyes, is resting on a pure white flower. What I liked about this photograph was not just the natural petal which is white in color, but also the yellow centre of the flower just behind the fly, and the glimpse of green leaf behind the flower.

These photographs look almost unreal although all I did was sharpen and auto correct them on photoshop. Ofcourse they are cropped as the original photograph is of the whole flower.

This is the same big black fly with red eyes and four stripes from another angle. It is the same fly, although shot from another side. The transparent wings on the fly and the tiny hairs on its spindly legs are visible as is its tiny black mouth. I don't like flies but I love these photos. Shot by an amateur like me on an amateur camera! I guess Canon can take good pictures even if it not a high-end camera!

The sketches of the house fly look almost like black and white illustrations. Done on photoshop, like my other sketches.
