A bright metallic green fly. It's a long-legged fly I think. (Sci name) is staring at his own reflection in a drop of water on this scorchingly yellow flower petal.

An immature Metallic Starling telling the neighbours to keep it down!
I, a bit half-heartedly, tried to find out what species this is, but was unsuccessful, so feel free to let me know, if you do. 🐞
Apparently there is a whole army of metallic beetles out there, in all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes. Fascinating! I like these with the green-ish mini tiles a lot, don't see them too often though. But usually near areas where the "rainbow beetles" are.
This one had its wings already hanging out the backside, but for some reason decided not to fly off and escape, but instead to do a little photo shoot with me, and our viewing pleasure now, I hope.
Edit: Well, it's of the genus Phyllobius it think, which has a ton of subspecies, maybe Phyllobius glaucus, or arborator..? 😋 Cheers.

In the night, after all of us have fallen deep a sleep, they come in numbers to inquire what us humans have really been up to. They come in these cool looking metallic space balls. See the alien sticking it's head out? It's there...look!
Part of my industrial night shot series.
Still can't find that alien dude? Well check the larger version on black
November Metallic Bee
I was surprised to find a wide variety of insects, including this bronze metallic sweat bee visiting my chrysanthemums on a warm day after our first frost

This composition shows the beautiful metallic colouring of this dew covered female banded demoiselle .
Metallic Ribbons was made with Mind Boggling Fractals software. When I focus on the center, it gives me vertigo.
A 1983 Wagon Queen Family Truckster . . . actually it’s a plain old ’79 Malibu Classic Estate Wagon . . . in a Central California junkyard. That stuff on the sides that looks like the remnants of wood paneling? Rust. 82-seconds under a full moon. Lime and red-set Protomachine flashlight.
My entry for the Versus Magazine Spring 2014 Casting.
Styling inspired by real life SS2014 fashion trends - cool metallics.

Discovered last year that closeups of melting snow when converted to b+w look almost metallic. Couple that with some water drops from the meltwater and this is the result.
Sounds a simple formula but I
spent a good hour last night trying to time my shutter finger with the drip of the melt-water! Quickly melting ice doesn't stay still either (I brought it inside to shoot it) so focus drifts away through time.
Used flash to get the exposure fast enough for the water drop and used Silver Efex Pro with a bit of selenium toning to finish off the image.
I quite like the result. Hope you like it too.

I may not always get to thank you for every fave or reply to a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.

More social distancing is needed in Wisconsin. My state has one of the highest rising COVIV-19 rates in the nation. These structures were seen on the rooftop of Blue Harbor resort.
