Absolutely fantastic Alessandro! At first glance the colours made me think it was an infrared modified camera!

…or they could have been limited by diffraction due to the smallish aperture. D300 begins to show effects of diffraction from F11 onwards. …….Well I must say that the fly was very co-operative in that it stood still for long enough for you to compose the shot! )

Thank you all for the compliments. For Anurag: F/16, 1/2 sec, ISO 400, – 0.33 underexposed, Tripod, remote release. The difficult part was to parallel the focus plane to the wing-eye-sting plane. This angle was the only one to get this, and, unfortunately, another petal (the one on the left lower corner) was in the way. Strangely, the single omatidium of the eye are not visible, not even at 100 %. They seem to be extremely small.
