Hey man, gotta love this photo
I'd like to hear more about the setup; did you use full or limit focus? Did you use a macro-filter or anything in front of the lens? Did you use a adapter ring? Did you use flash, a separate lamp, or is it natural lightning?

Thank you

Thats insane good photographing! The eyes of that fly is just stunning, you made an irritating, disgusting, ugly fly look pretty! Good job indeed!
