What a great macro! I don't really see soft focus though, this looks very sharp.

Nice shot, good composition and focus. I always wonder how to get this kind of shots without glueing the bug to the surface ;-) Welldone.

Comment by Bear_Music:
But... The fly is *centered*... If you'd used "centered" as one of your 3 there'd be no argument with that. I can see where you have the eyes on 1/3 lines, so you call that ROT, but to my eye it's more of a centered photo... Also, I see the shallow DOF for sure, but the soft focus totally is not there, except inasmuch as there are OOF areas front and back; but the image itself is tack-sharp, incredibly detailed, about as far from *soft focus* as you can get...

Outstanding macro, though :-)

surprise !!

This is absolutely terrifying.
I used to get bailed up by an irate sheep every time I used the outdoor loo when I lived on a farm.
She was hand raised by my aunt who used to treat her with Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs (caramelised popcorn).
I'm sure the sheep, whose name was Rani, thought that I was holding out on her and a few well aimed
head butts would get me to hand them over.
I don't know how you can possibly live with such beasts! LOL
