I found this little guy when I was trying to adjust my flash for a photo of a flower. I immediately turned and tried to get as close as possible to him. As it turned out, the photo is cropped version (about one third of the entire frame). I really like the contrast in colors.Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6, ISO 200, f/22 and one second on a tripod with an SB800 with a snoot and triggered by PocketWizard Flex.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 3—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast and adjusted hue of green.
Photoshop CS5—sharpened bug using high pass filter method.
Very neat photo. Like the color contrast between the fly and the leaves. The lines on the leaves seem to say "look at the fly." Nice.

Good composition, everything leads you to the subject, both lines and color contrast.
