An enjoyable contrast posted here between nature and a man-made object! Did the fly land on a car roof? Your nice image benefits from being well composed with good exposure and sharpness. Well taken!

This is super cool! I am not a fan of flies but I like the detail brought out by your photograph, I love the coloring too, perfect reflection on the shiny surface he landed on, well composed against the silvery blue background. Well presented!

The fly and its reflection stand perfectly out from the background. The features of both are surprisingly sharp refined. The eyes are especial impressive. It is intriguing to see the fly looking at itself. I am not sure what the surface is, but I assume it is a car. Am I right?

    Thank you Cleo! You are correct (Clever Cleo!), he was on the side mirror of a vehicle :)

Cool,Grace!
Flys like this have a rather 'unsavory' reputation but your pleasantly unusual picture of this one looks Great,my friend!
I wonder if this one is one of the personal Imps of the Arch Demon Beelzebub,'The Lord of the Flies' who's mentioned in many ancient Demonological texts and Witch's grimoires? ( And why would I be thinking about such dark stuff on a bright summer afternoon anyway? : D )

Excellent capture, Grace, showing this little House Fly with the surface on which he landed reflecting his colours. I like the soft blue background here. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent detail. Great composition. Suzanne
