Artist's Comments

This is a photo of a fly I took a long time ago for Photography class. I recently edited it and am now submitting it.

Enjoy.

<edit>
The photo was pretty small. I enlarged it a little. Quality didn't improve, but I hope it still looks alright.
</edit>
<edit>
I tried to fix the quality a little. Hope it's better, and not worse...

i do enjoy. so so so much. (only /really/ good shots can render me redundant)

it's such a tragic photograph, possibly because of the sympathetic title. i like it because it inspires empathy for something as grotesque and mundane as a housefly. i'm suddenly a little shocked that i'm so entranced by a picture of a corpse.

do you think of it as a corpse? or, are houseflies never really alive in the first place, and therefore incapable of death?

regardless of the answer, this is beautiful (a word that, as a boy, i try to use sparingly =P) and may have just earned a :+fav: from me, redering it the first non-cow on the list.

really cool!
quite sombre.
it deserves to be in bigger res, and maybe even a title or something.
but yay!

I adjusted the contrast and I added a dim, blue hue

yeah, I kinda wish it was bigger, but the camera I used for this photo is just your average 3.2 megapixel digital camera. I wish I had used my better one.

wow. thanks for the incredibly positive comment. I appreciate it sooo much. The title came from a line from Eros.

yeah, I've never felt much sympathy for a fly before...and this photo doesn't evoke much emotion in me, but I took the picture, so...that's different. personally, I think dead things can be just as beautiful as alive things.

I agree with you, though, in the use of beautiful. Heh....hard work to use, and still sound manly. Meh.
