At first I thought the flower washing out to the top right would be distracting. But the color and detail in the fly just blew me away.
The flower looks like silk. Possibly a bit more detail in the flower under the right wing? Beautiful shot. Thank you for sharing.

Maybe I undersaturated the flower too much.

Im pretty green with photoshop but I think I would try to add a bit of color. I love the way it fades but I my photo teacher always
stressed detail in the highlights and the shadows. That said let me again say its a beautiful photo. I love macro but I have had problems in the past with mine being a bit soft.

Hi Arsdel,

What an attention grabber, really well composed and beautiful.

You could make this better toning down the right side and leaving more space at the bottom.

Red carpet welcome to you!!!
More, please :)
