It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's SUPERFLY!

Even though this picture isn't perfectly tack-sharp all over, I think this picture turned out really well with the chicory bokeh beyond and the interesting, almost posterized quality of this hoverfly's back. And you gotta admit, this guy's got SUPERFLY written all over it! :D :D

I think the feeling of depth is what strikes me the most about this photo. Oh, and the title ROCKS also.
