Welcome to NPN and the macro & close up gallery, Chris. Outstanding first post here. Superb detail, especially for hh. I like the way you got both the flower center and the fly's head and upper torso in nice sharp focus. The purple flower is a very attractive perch for the fly. :toast:

Great catch, with the "in your face" look at this fly with good dof on a colorful flower.
