Very nice colors here!

That shot is certainly clear enough to identify the fly. Top notch technique.

Nice shot, looks like a vinegar fly. (about 1/16") ?

Yes, it was tiny. Shot it with the 50 macro and 30mm tube, cropped the final image. It just sat there and let me get really close.

Time for the fly spray I think!
