It looks like the fly was still, that's why you were able to get this at a slower shutter speed,like the dew on the fly,good shot.

This is superbly rendered. Fine macro work.

So Sharp

Great image Mark, Depth of field causes the fly to really stand out. Well done.

One of the best insect images I've seen in a while.

What an ugly creature, but beautifully captured.
