I don't much go for photos of flies, but this is different. Well done.

It seems a bit grainy or oversharpened, but I think the composition with the leaf veins and use of light/shadow is excellent.

The leaf and shadow are fantastic. The fly kinda brings it back to reality. 7

Neat shot (although it appears the fly is pre-deceased?).

With this title the wings really need to be in focus. The rest of the body seems to be in focus but the lower wing. Good capture

I'm amazed that you could even get near one of these to get this close a shot. It seems a touch over-enhanced perhaps. Hard to tell, flys have shiny abdomens anyway.

I really like the shadow of the fly. I think that really adds to this picture. But for some reason my eye keeps going to the point where all the veins of the leaves meet. It almost feels like the subject to me. Overall this is a great shot.

The point from where the veins of the leave radiate outwards seems to draw more attention than the fly. It is distracting if the fly is what you want to focus on. Also, lighting is particularly harsh, did you explore possibility of a diffuser?
