Lovely set of pictures - hard to get the DOF right, but you have

Much more fun than helping the wife pack and you have much better results. Close call, but I think I like number 2 the best.

Thanks guys. What did fascinate me was the amount the fly actually bent its wings whilst cleaning them.

#2 is my pick. Really good detail

Not so keen on the first but like the detail of the other 3 and I don't want to know what the fly in the second shot was standing on....

Thanks for the comments and opinions. If the fly had been standing on anything nasty I would not have photographed it, what it is actually standing on is a seed pod from a Broom bush
