a bit hazy, needs some sharpening up and the colors could be richer, but a great shot and angle

i would have zooomed ( or cropped) to frame the bridge supports better ( read: you can see negative space off to the left of the left bridge support...but not on the right one ) but just a minor observation.

Best of luck. I love the black and white.

Good focus and nice use of negative space. This image defies conventional wisdom that dictates putting more space in front of the subject than behind it, but I think it works well. Perhaps due to the shape of the leaf. But I don't think the photo would be nearly as effective without all that space behind the fly. The drop of liquid adds a nice touch.

Hoverlfies are one of my favourite subjects - you've done a good jobe here. Nicely exposed and sharp. Perhaps crop a bit tighter so we can see more of the fly?

Beautiful focus and clarity, nice color and background blur. Could be cropped differently for better effect.

Excellent! Love the detail on the fly - focus and lighting is good. The water drop on the leaf is perfect.

I might have cropped the photo just slightly tighter, the large space around the fly leaves my eyes to wander a bit, but that's the only suggestion I have...

Excellent focus on such a small subject. You must have been quick to capture this one.
