    Chee Yong,
    Good attempt. The eyes are focus. But the shallow DOF making the front of the face blur is somewhat distracting. Also, try to place your flash a bit more to the front so that the right side of the picture isn't so dark.

    chee yong,
    You were shooting at 125mm? What lens were you using?
    I think the focus was on the neck, eyes and neck is sharp but the mouth is not.
    But, still a good shot.

    I don't think the neck is sharp. Anyway, a lower angle will be better.

    Nice closeup shot. How do you manage to take it? They fly away quite quickly, right? Must have taken lots and lots of tries?

    If the fly's on your room wall and you want to shoot it, turn on the air-con. When they're cold they don't move so much.
