Finally picked up another macro lens after foolishly selling mine

Attempted to shoot a fly for the first time, conditions were windy and the fly was on a hanging object but i think i managed to pull off 1 semi decent one

It looks good to me, nice one.

The shadow/reflection works really well.

I wonder how it would look if you just rotated it 90 degrees... Good start!

I wish my first attempts came out that good! Great shot - and good call on the rotation.
