This is neat. I like the colors and composition. Flies are amazing when you see them up close like this. The plant and the fly show their hair in this shot. Jim H.

:-) Perhaps I should give the challenge a new title, something like "Beautiful Ugliness", also referring to some of the architectural "masterpieces" in the Exhibition Gallery. :-) I somehow struggle to get my insects to sit still for long enough to take pictures like this. Any tips you can share? Regards ~jnconradie
