Wow ! TERRIFIC ! Extreme macro. But how did you manage to have this white background ? Did you extract it from the original one ? Whatever you did, it's simply extraordinary !

@zOOm: the white background is the ceiling of my sunroom. the fly was hanging from a piece of web, face down, and i was on my tip toes shooting up at it as it rotated slowly, clockwise then counter-clockwise. a macabre but rewarding discovery...

thanks for the comment!
