Your use of dof is superb here, David. I love the lines of the leading edge of the leaf. Background tones work well with his iridescent color, too. Lovely -- though I'm not usually much for flies :) #8195555

Chua and Nikki... thanks for commenting on this image! I know flies do not make for "beautiful" subjects, but they are actually one of my favorite insect orders! #8250444
