Wow, Just wow, one of the best macro shots ever seen, I see more on this photo than I see on out school's crappy microscopes.
very detailed, I really love macro and this really stunned me, never have I seen such an amazing play of blur, I think you have encouraged many members to buy a macro lens, as well as me. DD worthy !

Getting the luck to have a fly hold still long enough to snap a photo must have been hard to do.
