I went out looking for a green insect to photograph right after a rain shower. This little one was the best match. I'm sure I will get marked down a bit for not having a perfect matching color, but that's fine.
PP: I cropped heavily to get a close up. (I want to buy a macro lens...) levels, saturation, selective coloring on whole image and pieces of the image, sharpening. and neat image.

What a very fine slice you've taken here. Too bad you couldn't get the entire fly (at least the body and farthest wing) in focus - but I know it can be tricky with macro's like this. The green on green works well. Good luck in the challenge.
Nice shot. Did you try it with a flash? I took a similar shot for the challenge and every time I used the flash, he was not in the picture. He would react to the flash quicker than the picture could be taken and fly off! When I looked at the shot on the camera, no fly, yet there he was on the leaf. It took a number of shots to figure out what was going on.
