I was shooting macros of the tomato plant. The fly just happened to land & got such a shock to see those big bug eyes looking at me I moved the camera & lost my chance at a clear shot.

Canon EOS 350D
1/100s f/2.8 at 60.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wonderful macro. The EFS 60mm brings up the detail and great camera work at 1/100sec.

Great shot! Like it the way it is, with the focus on the eyes. Flies look quite interesting when you get close enough....
