a true macro with fantastic sharp details;

You captured the fly perfectly. I am impressed by the sharpness of the fly. Even all those spiky hairs on the back are sharp. The transparent wings are especial interesting. The photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. Colors and light are realistic. The fly is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very nice shot that is well exposed for the white petals. The fly is shown in very fine detail and I like this square presentation. Best of luck in the contest.

How did you have to pay this model? Lol..just gave me a cartoon idea. Thanks! The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this green fly on the flower is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your full and appropriate composition grants us an enjoyable view of your nice fly and its lovely bloom location. Like the colours on display. Well done and good luck!

What a nice macro of this Green Bottle Fly (at least that is what I think it is).

Very nice work capturing the iridescence of the colors. I especially applaud your capture using a cell phone. As an iPhone is all I use I am impressed with this image.

I wish you all the best in the contest ~ iPhone7

    Thanks! I have
    I phone peeps ask me all the time which cell I have because the camera is great. All my Samsung have had excellent cameras. 🙂

I must have the wrong cell phone. This is as sharp a macro shot I have seen in a long time. The tight crop turns this little guy into the giant FLY. The DOF is perfect and filling the scene with the spikes of the bloom created a wonderful background. The colors are bright and crisp. Wonderful scene and good luck in the contest.
