 Louie the Fly seemed quite happy to pose for some time on the edge of this glass table. He is up lit with a torch. I used a 90-300MM Canon Lens @100mm with Kenko extensions.

On the edge of the glass table. I didn't invert anything either ! so I am not sure what you mean by that?

Great shot of the fly, but I'm not too keen on the background colour. Maybe desaturating certain colours would work.
