Very cool shot and a great macro at that in regards to the detail. It's too bad the fly was dead (just a guess) when the photograph was taken because if it was alive the green eyes would have really popped out and captured the viewers attention. Guess they donĂ¢€™t like to sit still too long for a macro shot like this ;-)

Not exactly pretty but an excellent macro image.

What an ugly looking thing!! Good capture and nicely focused (perhaps TOO well, in this case).
07/07/2005 01:14:16 AM
Holy cow that's detailed! Excellent!
07/06/2005 01:07:20 PM
how can it see through all that grunge on its eyes? nasty looking fellow, but well done. good focus and lighting. the lower right bit is distracting.
07/06/2005 04:18:32 AM
Quite ugly but good macro none the less.
07/05/2005 10:36:28 PM
His eyes seem surprising dirty to me, like his been dead for awhile. Focus is nice and crisp
07/05/2005 09:53:03 PM
Nice shot
07/05/2005 08:14:26 PM
Amazing macro. Shame about the noise artifacts. Rating highly anyway
07/05/2005 06:03:20 PM
one of the greatest macros ive ever seen.what kind of lens did u use?
07/05/2005 03:34:56 PM
I like the way you composed this and you did manage to get quite close. I gave you a good score but would have scored higher if this had really been pin sharp.
07/05/2005 03:07:22 PM
Super!
07/05/2005 01:14:39 PM
Good shot...a bit blurry, but overall good macro.
07/05/2005 01:43:42 AM
6 - Potential. For me, too dirty. Needs finer focus. Maybe a brighter background, or more of that which is there. Not sure if it is dead or not but, doesn't look too good.
07/04/2005 09:44:38 PM
Great Macro, but such an ugly, ugly face.
07/04/2005 02:09:58 PM
This is an excellent macro. Very nicely done! <9>
07/04/2005 01:39:49 PM
Incredible detail! Great macro.
07/04/2005 12:50:00 PM
wooooooooooow, one of the best, how did got it ????????????
07/04/2005 11:42:53 AM
He needs a bath. Good focus.
07/04/2005 09:14:12 AM
I tried this same shot but thought the dust on the eyes would give away the fly
was dead and might get marked down for it. I know how tough this shot was to
take so I'm scoring it high.
07/04/2005 03:29:01 AM
I know you! Nice shot...
07/04/2005 02:38:01 AM
wow, how'd you take this? 10
07/04/2005 02:09:28 AM
He does not look very healthy!
07/04/2005 01:14:19 AM
This is the most amazing ugly thing I've ever seen. WOW is all I can say.
07/04/2005 12:33:30 AM
put a swiffer mop on his head!
07/04/2005 12:24:43 AM
Dang if those things aren't ugly critters!
