Excellent fly pics- all natural light too.
Interestingly using a diffused flash stops that bright sun patch you always get on their eyes- might be worth trying.

they are beautiful shots of the common fly

the detail around gives him a lot of respect

(for the moment, until you delve into his insides, for the good of us all , of course)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

great shots
