 i wanted a fly's bottom for this challenge because I've seen some that are quite beautiful ..

this is not one of those btw .. !! ..


anyway .. i was walking through my kitchen and this fly was upside down on the side of the sink .. obviously having a hard time .. buzzing around and upside down ..
i thought it was dying ..

of course when i saw it i thought .. great .. a subject that isn't going to fly away .. and perfect for the backside challenge ..

so i got my camera ..

took a few photos but the fly wasnt still for a moment .. making it difficult to get a good shot ..

after a while i stopped taking photos and felt that i should put it outside to die ..

so i held it in my hand .. took it outside .. and threw it into the backyard ...
and IT FLEW AWAY ..!!..

imagine my surprise ..
that fly totally tricked me .. !! ..

and btw .. i have absolutely no expectations for this .. could get me the brown .. !! .. ;)

after voting ..
thankyou so much for the comments and the top 5 ..

here's the original unedited photo in response to Barroness Debbi's comment ..
the fly was on the metal sink which created the reflection ..

This is such a cool shot. 10 from me, a top pick for me. Thank you for the explanation but I don't understand how you got the reflection. Awesome photography!

Can't quite get oriented but that's not hurting it - intrigue is there. Tones are great. 9
