Perspective is really what makes this image work. Nice sharpness on the eyes as well.

nice color, nice detail, well framed - looks like the fly is lurching towards the viewer, you almost want to pull back.

I have to admit that I never thought a fly would make such a superb model for a photograph. Definetly one of the stand out macros that I have seen at dpc

Hi from the Critique Club!

This is a wonderfully soft and delicate study. This probably worked a little against you in terms of score. A burst of colour suggests something dramatic, yours is very muted and subtle in comparison with the top three, for example.

That said: I love the contrast of the yellow against the red. The yellow is showing white artefacts, however,which are a little harsh and detract from the overall softness of the image.

I quite like the DOF, again it adds to the overall calm, serene feeling the image evokes.

The composition is bold and, for me works. The lines of the petals creates a half circle that leads the eye around the image.

The lighting seems a little flat,I'd love to see a bit more shadow on the petals for more depth and contrast.

Overall, a wonderful soft, dreamy image that leaves me feeling calm. Well done.
