Scott, this is a neat shot for a couple of reasons.  The sharpness on that tiny hoverfly is great.  I'm also enjoying the sense that this is a face leaning over and looking out of the frame at me...sad (yeah, I've been accused of being crazy before...)  The red background really sets off the colors in the flower and fly.

Scott - Hoverfly should thank you for its portrait in this colorful a setting. Looks very pretty to me.
