The desaturation you've employed really makes the colors pop, making an ordinary fly into an intriguing subject.

that's a good macro, so sharp. I think flies are ugly but this one isn't too bad!

Nice clean macro with selective desat. dof is also nice though the profile view does not give me enough personality. Overall it is a nice image.
