I like the photo and the flies! The shadows look great and really give it life. Nice shot. Those flies look deadly too.

Is that natural light?

Yes, natural sunlight. The sun was setting as I finished the flies and the light was streaming across my bedroom. I grabbed the flies and set them in the sunlight and snapped a couple pictures (with and without a flash). I liked the photo without a flash the best.

Beautiful photo Ray!!

Greeting

Inspired!

That is a beautiful shot, yes.

-I like this. I have to make yourself with this color. Very nice.

Natural light is almost always better, great image.
