Allium Visitor

It's Tuesday, so it must be a QBBC*. My original target was one of the two purple Alliums blooming in the garden, but while taking my shots a Hover Fly settled on one of the blooms, staying still for at least 5 mins, allowing me to get in close with the macro. Some fill-in flash and use of my new toy, a 12" reflector which I bought after borrowing one from JohnGravett while on a workshop, enhanced the lighting.

Best viewed large!
