terje, does that flower stink? Reason I ask is that I grow orchids and there are orchids that smell like rotting meat to attract houseflies to pollenate them.

Every icky little hair ... you can see every disgusting little hair on the fly.

Beautiful picture, great flower, nice focus on the bug.

How much light was illuminating the flower? Did you reflect any or is the lighting just natural? Looks like a relatively narrow 'depth of field' is why I ask - and yet you still have the entire fly in focus.

Well shot picture.
