Shot of the week for myself when I found this cannibalistic fly having lunch on the laurel bush leaf in the garden. Overall size was maybe ¼inch so was a large crop for composition purposes. Taken on the 5D Mk2 with my 100mm macro and all three extension tubes, flash used.

Was surprised when I looked the viewfinder lining up this one, cos at first I thought it was 2 flies having some early rumpy-pumpy!
