Hi,

First one is sweet! I wonder how compound eyes like the fly work. It's eyes makes up most of the head.

Wah! Richard, very nice shots! How I wish I'm able to take such a nice picture..

The first and second picture is quite impressive!

Houseflies don't quite stay still at one place, so that first shot is really quite good. However, I would suggest you use a portrait crop instead. Use the ratio of 2:3 for length/height.

Cheers,

#1 and #2 is quite nicely taken. Mark improvement. Keep it up!
