Great macro. Lovely Soft focus. I don't like your concept of oxymoron and the pic doesn't relate. But besides that, I like this photo lots!

Just a little too much of it is stuck in the DOF to make it compelling but you did get the most important thing in focus, the eye. 5

Focus is OK, just needs more DOF.

Wow! I am so impressed! I would instantly favourite this if I wasn't totally creeped out by that fly. You've got mad photography skills to do this...amazing!

Not sure you captured the "house" part of things however this is a *stunning* photo! You managed to make a fly look visually appealing, I think, with the soft background and the colors. And to make a fly look attractive is no small feat!

Love the colours of the background and the diagonal coposition is good, but I would have liked more detail in the fly. I don't follow how 'house fly' is an oxymoron.

tough shot, but I think getting the whole fly in focus would make this really stand out.
