Roger:
Very nice shot. Tack sharp and sweet bg. I like how the two flies are rotated at right angle to one another giving an orthogonal view of them. The only minor nit is the bright highlight on the white flowers.

Nice capture Roger. Sharpneing looks a bit on the aggressive side to me. The toning down of highlights in the petals (top-left) has turned it dull grey.

Very interesting image and great behavior shot. the flowers at the top are blown out a lot and detract form the image some.

I've never quite seen the deer fly mating this way, great find Roger.
Great detail & BG, the OE up top is my only nit.
Happy Turkey Day!
