This is neat. I like the colors and composition. Flies are amazing when you see them up close like this. The plant and the fly show their hair in this shot. Jim H.

Now that is an extreme closeup; great details; wonderful b/g; lovely shot.

How in the world did you get within 5 inches of him and he not fly off?? I have this lens and I know the focus distance.This is a big wow!

:-) Perhaps I should give the challenge a new title, something like "Beautiful Ugliness", also referring to some of the architectural "masterpieces" in the Exhibition Gallery. :-)

I somehow struggle to get my insects to sit still for long enough to take pictures like this. Any tips you can share? Regards ~jnconradie
