I love how clear and bold the colours are. This is really impressive. My one wish is that the depth of field were wider, but it's macro so that's probably just wishful thinking. Keep it up!

Very nice work.
I love the fact that only the front of the fly is in sharp focus.
Ugly subject, but this is beautiful.

You really got that one focused spot on. I would maybe try to enhance the local contrast on it. However, its still super duper just like this
