Freud would certainly have fun with this one. On a strictly photographic note, the blurry leaf / wing-looking-thing in the background looks like it may be an intentional repetition of the form of the fly's wings, or it may just be some blurry thing in the background. If it was intended, having it oriented in a cardinal position relative to the fly (e.g. offset 90, 180, 270, or 360 degrees from either of the fly's wings) would have enhanced the effect. Posing the fly would, of course, be the hard part. If the repetition was unintentional (or the fly just wouldn't pose), you may have been better off narrowing the DOF a bit further to reduce the clear lines in the background.

You've got the fly really sharp here. Well done.

Don't really know what the title indicates but the overall image lacks a bit of the dreamy theme....

A solid attempt at a bug macro. Suffers somewhat from the muddy colours and the fly doesn't really stand out strongly enough. A difficult subject to tackle - keep trying.

Fabulous macro work, of course. Wouldn't want to wake up and find this guy so close :>)
Anyhow, it's good and you're either emulating Jacko or are Jacko!

great shot with a surreal feel to it. Very crispand great use of DOF. But I doubt you will win over many hearts with a fly. Great image just not an apealing model.
