Common Housefly (Musca Domestica)


Composition, lighting, sharpness and clarity. Comments requested. Was wondering if it's worth submitting to FPC.

 * Comments:
 * The subject of the photo is way too small in proportion to the size of the photo. Spikebrennan (talk) 20:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It is sharp and in good focus at the top of the fly, but DOF is very shallow. The cable it is sitting on makes for a nice general photo, but in terms of Encyclopaedic value it detracts as it is distracting from the subject (the fly). And as Spike said, in an image this size, the fly would need to be substantial part of the image, but in this case it is perhaps only 20%. As well as this we already have fly FPs, which always raises the bar somewhat for new nominations. The photo is good, but honestly I wouldn't like its chances at FPC.
