This was a fly I found dead in my fridge, between the Miracle Whip and salad dressing. I find simplicity in the inevitable, as the most simple things in nature (to me) are life and death. The fly found his demise in his greed.

It's an interesting title but it is hard to figure out. What is going on in this shot? It is not in focus (intentional? Dunno), can;t make out the object.
I'm yet another who doesn't understand the shot -- it looks like a pair of maple seeds to me. Beyond that, let me analyze the shot on its own merits. If you were aiming for abstract (and it could make an interesting abstract, I think), then there's no reason to keep it so small. If you were trying to keep the out of focus aspect minimized by keeping it small, then even at this size the focus problems are readily apparent. There's simply nothing to tie the viewer to the image, my eyes keep shifting between the three "figures" in the shot -- the dark central figure and the two light spots. All my opinion, but I think you can probably do a more intriguing version of this -- whatever it may be.
This is way to simple for me. The photo is small, your may subject is very much out of focus, and I don't understand the lighting here. I don't understand your photo without the title, which is a negative point, too. Sorry, and please don't feel my comment as an attack, I would like to help you with some points.
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Can't tell if this does or not. Exposure composition focus lighting... again, can't tell.
Personal: Not enough information here to form an opinion. As such, my opinion is low. Allowing more visual cues to show in your photograph would have boosted this.
I don't get the relationships between death, greed, bird (?), and out of focus image. If I'm missing something, please explain and I can come back for a rescore
