Came cross this tiny fly sitting on the leave while strolling at the garden. Took the shot handheld before it disappear (cropped at 60%) 1/250 f2.8. Love the Canon 100mm Macro lens :)

Long-legged fly, natural light is nice but focusing is critical with such a wide aperture and unfortunately you missed the near eye which would have given the image more bite.

I can't agree more....unfortunately shooting macro (in this case totally unprepared) handheld is tough to achieve pin point focusing.
