 I hate flies, but this one posed quite patiently for me. And in macro mode, the close-ups of even the most disgusting bugs can become quite interesting and visually appealing. :-)

Oh man! I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when you got this shot! ;-)

I like most everything about this shot except the way he's staring at me. ...and the fact that Yanko fav'd it. :)

I think this one looks a bit soft....personally I would have liked to see more detail on the fly. Nice colors

Very nice macro. I love the DOF. The detail and the background blur is fantastic. Just as a minor tweak I'd blend in those hot spots on the leaf so that it blends in with the rest of the color. I'd probably use selective color to adjust the whites with the fly masked out to preserve that.

I hate flies, but there is something sympathetic in this image. Love the perspective and use of some space, not just HIM in the shot. The DOF is to die for.

Another great macro. That's really cool how you narrowed the DOF all the way down to the eyes. Excellent.
