A portrait of the same Robber Fly of genus Machimus I posted earlier today. These two big compound eyes give this aerial
predator excellent vision.
Best viewed Large, On Black.

fabulous image.
how do you get so much depth with the reversed lens technique? i've tried this with a 50mm macro reversed and attached to a 100mm macro, and it seems my depth of field is always limited to just a few millimeters.
