 First I froze this fly to death. Then I put it on a stone in my garden to take a picture of it. I used a flash to light it up. When I had taken this picture I edited it in photoshop. I changed the hue/saturation to get this red color and adjusted it a little with selective color. Then I added a black border and saved for web.

I'm very proud of this shot. I hope I'll place high but don't have an idea. I'll just have to hope the best.

Good macro, good bokeh, ugly fly. Still a good picture, though.

Everything about this is good. It reminds me of an old animated disney film, not sure why.
