Nice shot. is this a stack or single image ?
Is there a way to correct the greenish tinge (LOCA ? ) on the back front leg ?
It seems distracting and out of place to me.

Nice photo for sure, and it would be nice to get that greenish chroma (?) corrected. Stacking issue??

Thanks for the comment on the image's greenish tinge.  I think this version I corrected the problem.

It was a single shot taken under natural conditions.

That helped some reducing the CA on the flower edge, but the green “leg” next to the petal ……

Degrub, thanks.  I think I fixed it.  Hopefully, I did not introduce and other weirdness into then image.

Eric, appreciate positive comment.

Bob_B, thanks for commenting.

Degrub, in another conversation I was arguing with someone that one should wait at least twenty years after an economist dies before rewarding him or her a Nobel prize.  I think in a similar vein one should wait six months after developing an image before reviewing it a second time and showing it.

kers, thanks for your comment.  In the original image the fly's thinnest leg against the white flower was greener than a Christmas tree -- one of my many weaknesses, I mostly look at the overall appearance of an image and don't do a deep dive into it.
