Great shot! How did you manage to convince the fly to stay still!

The fly was preoccupied with its food. Air was still and shots captured with aid of monopod. Thanks.

amazing shot of an interesting bug. I'd say the colours are a little strong and the lighting isnt quite perfect. Is it natural light?

Gary, thanks for your kind comments. The lens by itself is a winner imo and I am starting to take with monopod or tripod as 200 makes it difficult to hold by hand.
