I wasn't photographing flies but the bright blue of this little chap caught my eye on a grey day so I stopped and took his picture. It was a dull day and I only had a monopod so I decided to forsake any attempts at a decent DOF and just focus on his rather appealing little face ;)

Lots of flies in this challenge - insect of the month? Anyway good sharp focus...maybe a little too sharp as I can see evidence of over sharpening around the feet of the fly. Other than that excellent photo.
Amazing color and detail on that fly...great job of capturing it in such a small subject. Beautiful photo overall...the foreground starts to border on being a little distracting.
