Hi Mike! You chose a fly, also! Great idea to go with the high contrast, black and white. He really stands out nicely.

I think it's bold to go with B&W in a challenge like this. This is a very compelling shot. One of my favorites! 9

Tough one to vote on. The image itself shows me nothing of the fly's environment, which isn't what I'd hoped to see in this challenge. You did get decent detail on the fly, which is no easy thing.

I like the starkness. I might've upped the deepest tones a smidge more, but that's just me. :)
