The only thing for me is I would have focused on the closer eye, apart from that it is a great shot.

I usually hate pesky dirty Greenbottles and their cousins, but I like this one!
Don’t think much of your apples though

Thanks Dave - One of the problems of this magnification is the very thin DOF and its often a compromise - to get the face sharp and parts of the body and eye the focal plane is angled diagonally across the image and leaning into the image - I've only got DOF about the width of a single fly's eye to play with !

Cheers - The birds are making holes in the apples which the flys love - unfortunately the ingredients for apple crumble get less by the day !
