It would have been a great photo without the fly but having the fly against the light part of the roof adds another level of detail. If it was an inch further forward or back it wouldn't have worked as well. Perfect timing and great shot.

Outside of the ibeautiful sunflower itself, I love the composition of this image and the background the sunflower is set against....not to mention great DoF. As has been mentioned, the insect is icing on the cake...great capture!

Yes, the insect really adds something to an already great photo. It's fun when unexpected things like this happen. One of my friends accidentally caught a shoplifter on camera once while photographing her boyfriend. I don't know if they caught him, though, but the policemen were happy to get a photo of the thief.
