    Default Man down!



    I grew weary of taking macros of dead flies, so i found a way to make it more interesting. Happen to have these toy soldiers sitting around and it ended up being a nice parallel.

    Hope you enjoy it.
    Let me know what you think.

    Here's another angle which i don't feel is as effective. Do you have a favorite between the two?

    very creative shots. I am not sure what to make of wanting to take macros of dead flies but I like what you did.

    the composition is interesting in both. In the first the eye sees the soldier, then the fly causing one to go 'wth'?
    In the second the focus is the fly first and the soldier second.

    very interesting.

    While pictures of dead flies is not my thing I do love what you've done here. I really like number 1. The second one is too out of focus for me since both the fly and the soldier are both part of the story.

    I like shot 2. Helps coming! Nice play!

    Now go see a therapist about this fetish for photgraphing dead flies you've admitted to!
