For those of us that are less familiar with entomology , these are not flies (Diptera) but beetles (Coleoptera), probably Pygopleurus genus (family Glaphyridae) ,possibly Pygopleurus israelitus.

The out of focus area on the right isn't compelling enough to justify putting the flies in the middle of the composition. I find the composition is stronger with some of the right side cropped. You might want to try cropping it to an 8x10 ratio instead of leaving it at the 4x6 ratio that comes out of the camera. Still an amazing shot. 7

Great macro. Love the amount of detail in this shot... even though I don't like the bugs.
