nice details, nice compo, nice colors +9

Wow! Nice macro shot!!
Good job!

This is fantastic. Great detail and perspective. Goodcomposition and colors as well. Bravo.

Beatufiul macro shot, razor sharp DOF here, lovely details!! Beautiful!

great macro, colors, details, dof, ...
good job

Very strong and crisp macro shot!

thats the most beautiful fly i have ever seen verynice capture!!!

The detail in the fly is very focused, but the pea green backround distrupts the beauty of this nature shot. If there were some other leaves to break up the back round would feel less stark. Nice macro none the less.

Great macro shot indeed!!!
Agree with  loneorbit about the background.

Wow, such a great shot
The details on the fly are great! I'm not crazy about the background though. Adding a frame would be nice IMO.
Great one anyways! I tend to love green flies after having painted lots of them, they are really beautiful and shiny!

The fly itself looks excellent; good color and very sharp details. The color of the background in unfortunate; it really sucks the life out of the overall image. +7

Great clarity of the eyes and head in general. Nicely done.

Love the details and sharpness of this fly!
I'd crop a little from the top!

oooh amazing macro shot, great tones! I agree with Patrick and Diane about cropping and the frame

Great capture! looking forward to more!

Great shot!

Love everything about this except for the crop. Landscape would look better, IMO. Nice work none the less!

Awesome macro....and I just love the green!

You won't believe me..I saw a very strange dream recently and I saw a huge flies like this. I saw kinda parade of monsters and there were huge flies between the other monsters, but they drew my attention - I thought what an ridiculous choice to put flies between such a beautiful monsters..So I started to throw mud balls on them and all the creatures looked at me like on the very rude person and I started to feel embarrassed and thought - well, after all they are so beautiful flies
Now before you think that I completely nuts - it is the beautiful giant fly from my dream! I'm telling you,man!
Awesome

I actually very much agree with  loneorbit about the background. It's almost a visual case of "silence being deafening" - the background screams out in this image (to me anyway), which is a downfall of the work. A tighter crop would have been nice, plus i think a border would've finished the work off nicely - the backgrounds tone is too similar to the subject matter for your eye not to wander off the edge.

As stated above, it is a stunning macro though, fantastic details. Good work mate 7/10

Excellent macro shot. You could choose a higher aperture value to get the wings in focus too, but it also works the way it is. The crop is not good though. It should be horizontal, with more space around the fly.

The details are impressive. Next time please elaborate about lense, exif, etc.

wow! nice macro

It's so beautiful, I almost can't believe something as simple as a fly (that we don't care about most times or just kill it) can be the star of such a beautiful piece of art.
