Fly is always an interesting subject to shoot as you can see plenty of details. I managed to push the aperture all the way to F20 to capture the following shot. Comments are most welcome.

D70 + Tamron 90mm
Shutter speed: 1/160 sec
Aperture: 20.0
Exposure mode: Manual

Marcus, this is a wonderful image. Super detail throughout - the bg really highlights the subject! Love the metallic colors on the abdomen. Excellent work.

Marcus,

A really wonderful image. The fly is tack sharp, well illuminated and with a perfectly blurred background. I also like the curves of the leaf edge. Well done.

Can't change a thing in this one Marcus, love the colours and also the curves in the leaf. The fly is sharp, heck that is sharp. Very impressive as always my friend, fine macro work

All the best over your way Marcus, you make a fly look gorgeous
