Very nice on this one...you got some real zing on separating the subject from the background on this photo. Colors are rich and brilliant as well. Well done!

You really are talented when it comes to close ups! Fantastic focus and colours on the fly!

What a great close up! I would crop some more off of the bottom as I think that bottom broad leaf detracts some from your subject. You caught the metalic sheen very well here. Good work.

Well I never, I have never seen such a colorful and metallic fly like this before. He is a beauty, and what a great capture. Stunning textures and colors.

Thats a nice metallic fly. Tried to capture a similar one some days ago, but it refused to play nice. I think the light is a little harsh here ( seen on the flowers, as it looses details), and colors maybe to saturated? Its very sharp though, and you can see the hair on the fly. Composition seems ok.

Oh man! I never thought anyone could take a photograph and get me thinking a FLY was beautiful. ..but you have succeeded in doing just that. Amazing macro. The colors and focus are to die for!

Very vivid color, and I love the fly detail. It truly does make the humble fly look beautiful. The only part I didn't like was the blue tinging on the leaves. It looks as if there might me too much contrast given to the image, or perhaps too much tonal mapping. Still, love the image and the dof is really good.

The whole color scheme is almost pushed to the edge, but not overly so. I like the vividness and detail of Mr. Fly.

Flys are actually kinda pretty now that I think about it. I love that irridescent sheen. You are getting good close ups with that 18-55!
