This fishing fly is designed to deceive fish into thinking it is a damsel fly nymph. Taken on a grey day by the river. Used Nikon AF Micro 60mm lens. Minimal editing: exposure, saturation, definition and sharpening. Trying to capture the colours of fly against the autumn leaves. Wanted to get closer but risk of losing camera to the beck was too high!

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An unusual interpretation that partially meets the challenge.

In terms of the image itself the fly is anything but camouflaged but I can see your interpretation is a clever take on the challenge theme that has fortunately been recognised by a lot of your voters too. The image itself is rather appealing with the submerged leaves forming a lovely counterpoint to the fly sitting on the plant's woody stump with the river flowing all around. You have to be commended for spotting this and interpreting the theme in the way you have, I'm pleased for you that it was appreciated here too, well done.

Anyway, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid. Please feel free to reciprocate on any of my images, I would welcome your feedbackâ€Â¦

I like the overall feel of this - very nice tones and good detail.

A nice image, and interesting spin on the camouflage theme... instead of nature's use of it for defence/safety, it shows man's use to defeat nature. Nice work.
