I love the contrast between the red eyes and the green of the body and leaf. A gretaer depth of field may have helped here to bring more of the great texture of the leaf into sight (love the hairs around the edge), and it would obviously benefit from toning down the burnt out area through the centre of the leaf.
Very good try on a tough subject though. well done.
The DOF is absolutely spot-on and I love the way the other side of the leaf ends up being in focus. You need to watch those highlights though - the white bits on the fly's body are just a bit too blown out.
Nice macro and I like how the edges of the plant, particularly on the far side, show the detail of the "fur" fringe. Maybe just a bit off-balance, but I can't quite figure out how to better balance it, so maybe not.
