“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.”
~ Andy Warhol
...in this case, flies.
I captured a shot of a fly that was sitting atop a daisy flower. It is as if he perched himself on the flower just for me to capture a shot of him. The shot was taken using a Canon 80D camera with a 75 -300 mm lens on the macro setting.
I've always been fascinated with nature and all it's living creatures, and have had the luxury recently to capture some really cool shots. However, I feel like this is one of the better shots that I have been able to get. The eyes of the insect perfectly centered, and focused on the camera. The setting blurred, yet still keeping the flowers and fly shots in complete focus.
What I also love about photography, as the quote by Warhol insinuates, is that any photo can tell a story. While to me this shot can mean one thing, someone else can draw their own conclusions. Photography: an art that is never-ending.
After looking at the photo thought come in my mind that how little living things depends on others. Nothing is extra in this world.
I've asked you before @introvert-dime why you vote up all your own replies at basically full strength all the time, but the post itself at VERY low power (around 7% usually it seems) and here is the deal.
It is considered pretty scammy here to do that.
And you have been doing it a long time and it is time to address this poor behaviour.
Once in awhile is fine. Not all day, every day for weeks on end.
That is garbage behaviour here.
You seem to pick high profile posts, or users to do this on always and then vote your comments to the top increasing your visibility and you do this all day long, every day, all the time.
That is frowned upon here, not like you need someone to tell you this behaviour is scammy and poor.
I think I might start pasting this reply into your scammy replies to people, since your replies are all self-voted to the top for VISIBILITY. ALL THE TIME.

Nice work .. just amazing
Creative photo .. Really is eternal, well done
Thanks for sharing
Thats stunning photo dude! I'd love to see photos that were professionally done such as this. Its simply awesome 😄
Beautiful photography!
Beautiful. The colors look stunning.
Yeah really amazing pic @jgullinese. As long as there is live human and a universe there will always be art. Ted Williams bragged that he could read the writing on a baseball as it was pitched to him. This shot also must have taken tremendous focus and timing to catch just right, very well done!

Love your capture, @jgullinese of that little fella posing! And what a great quote by Andy. A picture is like a time machine. I guess. :) Keep up, friend! Resteemed.
Upvote & Followed you :)
Always loved your photography. Awesome take. Keep it up. Quite fascinating.
THAT is a great quote at the beginning. So very true. A picture captures that moment in time forever. Great post
Love it, its true any photo can tell a story
this is an awesome photography dude
Those details and the vividness of daisy. Sweet !
That looks really good! So nicely sharp! I would could never capture a fly on a camera - my stealth mode works only on humans
Hello @jgullinese
I really like the last sentence of your post - it is such a true quote and it's amazing how you demonstrated it with the upper picture!
Sounds like you are fully passionate about photography - when did you started taking pictures? :)
It has been a passion of mine since I was in college, but it was awaken again when I joined steemit. The platform allows us all to share our passions and our art, something I truly love. Thank you for the kind sentiments. I appreciate it! Blessings to you.
Hey @jgullinese. great post! I enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work! It's always nice to see good content here on Steemit! Cheers :)
It's true, a picture never changes and every photo is unique because no man or camera can reproduce that exact moment in that exact time in that exact same place and angle. And I've recently read that the total number of photos taken in human history is aproximated to over 3 trillion! So keep shooting those beautiful pictures. This one is awesome!
Gives me the hope of spring.
Always excited to see your nice angle shoot photograph❤️
Done upvote, comment and reestem💕💕💕
wow, this is very beautiful and very beautiful.
this is a very good picture, I also post many animals like this.
Beautiful. This scene will be repeating itself all over the Northern hemisphere soon as spring comes.
Taking an image, freezing a moment reveals how rich reality is. :)
