for some reason this fly was very docile and kept crawling on my hand. It was difficult to focus the camera while holding the fly, but I though this one came out petty good

Tremendous macro! Was it difficult to train that fly?

Nice lens - I know my glass won't do a shot like that!

first off, i think your title is a little bit obscure. HA HA not really... In terms of technical ability, this is a stunning macro shot. the detail of the fly is very cool, and quite interesting. But why on a finger tip. i would never say the B word, but, well, it just doesn't convey a great deal of exciting. i think putting it on a cookie / biscuit / cake might prove more diverse. the finger fills too much of the shot like a big pink blob, and i think such a set-up is a bit of a lost opportunity. like i said before, you cannot fault the skill used in taking this picture, so for that you get a 7. but why a finger??

Nice, sharp unusual. I am always enjoying good macro shot's like these. Was it still alive and just posing for you?
