Benching with my son over the weekend when he said “Mom, here is a dead fly that would make a neat photo.” Love this kid, he finds the greatest things for me to take a photo of. He definitely has the eye. So as you can see I picked up the fly. Used black velvet for the background and sat the fly down on black acrylic glass. Took a shot from various angles and finally settled on this one. I applied Topaz Adjust Spicify to boost the contrast, followed by Topaz Detail on the eyes only. Shot with NikonD300s and 105mm lens. My settings were ISO 200, f9.0 and 1/25 sec.

Very artistically done! Great detail! I like the shape the legs make. Sort of like a star. Goes to show you… beauty can come from anything, even a dead bug. Your son is wonderful to care about your artistic endeavors and offer his assistance!
