About the Image(s)

During a May rain this Spring a hoverfly clung to the window in my sunroom door. As I looked out at it, I noticed that it was superimposed on a reflection of a table with a checkered tablecloth. Thus was the concept of "Horse Fly" born. I photographed the image-reflection composite with an iPhone 16 pro max. The image was imported into LightRoom Classic, and various sections were masked and adjusted to create a blanketed horse with the head of a fly. I removed his wings to ensure eligibility in the KY Derby.
